- A new 270-square-meter metal binder jetting facility and
showroom is located in ExOne’s European headquarters in Gersthofen,
Germany
- The center features two Innovent+® printers with a 25Pro™, X1
Metal Designlab™ and X1F™ furnace arriving soon, right next to the
production line of the X1 160Pro™, the world’s largest metal binder
jetting system
- The center now offers European manufacturers end-to-end binder
jetting adoption services, including benchmarks, design support,
and materials, process, and work cell development
The ExOne Company (Nasdaq: XONE), the global leader in
industrial sand and metal 3D printers using binder jetting
technology, today announced it has opened a Metal 3D Printing
Adoption Center at its European headquarters in Gersthofen,
Germany.

Eric Bader, Managing Director of ExOne
GmbH, says the launch of ExOne's Metal 3D Printing Adoption Center
is driven by increased interest by European manufacturers in metal
binder jet 3D printing. ExOne’s Adoption Centers now print sand
molds and cores for metalcasting customers, as well as metal
benchmarks for its metal binder jetting engineering consulting

The mission of ExOne’s Adoption Centers, which have locations in
the U.S., Germany, and Japan, is to allow customers to try binder
jet 3D printing for their designs before they decide to buy an
ExOne 3D printing system for their own production.
The investment announced today represents an expansion of
ExOne’s longtime Adoption Center in Europe, which 3D prints sand
molds and cores for metalcasting customers. ExOne’s Metal Adoption
Center now offers manufacturers end-to-end engineering services for
direct-metal binder jet 3D printing, including benchmarks, design
support, and materials, process, and work cell development.
“Now, manufacturers throughout Europe can benefit from locally
produced binder jetted metal designs and benchmarks, along with
world-class engineering consultation and support,” said John
Hartner, ExOne’s CEO. “We encourage manufacturers to take advantage
of the high speed, low cost, and industry-leading quality that our
patented binder jetting technology can deliver for even the most
complex designs.”
“Our centralized location outside of Munich gives manufacturers
the opportunity to see metal binder jetting in action and work
closely with our expanded metal team on precision metal parts
projects,” said Eric Bader, Managing Director, ExOne GmbH. “This
expansion is supported by increased interest in metal binder
jetting in Europe as the technology matures.”
High-Quality Metal Parts Key Focus of New Center
Binder jetting is a high-speed method of 3D printing in which an
industrial inkjet printhead selectively deposits a binder into a
bed of powder particles creating a solid part one thin layer at a
time. When printing metals, the final part must be sintered in a
furnace to fuse the particles together into a high-density solid
object.
All new ExOne metal printers, such as the X1 160Pro manufactured
on-site in Gersthofen, are now offered with the company’s patented
Triple Advanced Compaction Technology (ACT), which delivers
industry-leading accuracy, density, and repeatability in binder jet
printing.
ExOne has now qualified more than 20 metal, ceramic, and
composite materials for its binder jetting process. More than half
of those materials are single-alloy metals, such as 17-4PH, 316L,
304L, M2 Tool Steel, Inconel 718, and more. Most recently, ExOne
announced that 6061 aluminum is now a Customer-Qualified material,
and titanium is now fast-tracked for qualification in partnership
with a global medical device firm.
ExOne’s New Metal 3D Printing Adoption Center will initially
focus on the delivery of small-to-medium parts with quality similar
to Metal Injection Molding (MIM) in 316L and 17-4PH, with other
materials available. To exploring having your part or product metal
3D printed with ExOne technology, contact ExOne through
