XACT Metal XM200C

Accessible Metal Powder-Bed
​Fusion 3D Printing

​The XM200C deploys a laser-based powder-bed fusion technology in which a fiber laser selectively melts thin layers of metal powder, one at a time, to create parts directly from a 3D-CAD model. Powered by our patent-pending Xact Core™ gantry system, the XM200C continues to revolutionize metal 3D printing.

​Metal powder-bed fusion provides high-quality and complex parts. It reduces total cycle time by about 50% and removes the need for wash/debinder and sintering/oven equipment used in bound metal deposition, atomic deposition additive manufacturing or other FDM-like metal 3D printers.

​Xact Core™
Making quality metal printing accessible requires innovation. Xact Metal’s printing technology is built on the patent-pending Xact Core, a high-speed gantry system platform that allows light, simple mirrors to move quickly and consistently above the powder bed on an X-Y axis.

• Avoids the use of complex rotating galvanometer mirrors and F-theta lenses
  
• Maintains a constant laser angle across the whole build plate
  
• A simplified gas flow over the powder bed due to the smaller build chamber
  

Patent-Pending Recoater
Recoater performance can directly affect the quality of your build. Our patented recoater design offers a variety of benefits.

• Unique “bulb” shape of the recoating element spreads powder like a blade, yet provides compaction similar to a rolling element
• Compliant design allows the recoater to negotiate out-of-plane growth and continue printing
• Mounting the recoater to the machine lid allows the entire recoating mechanism to be removed from the build chamber
• Easy access to the build chamber allows for simple recoater replacement and adjustments
