The XM300G Metal Printer

Micro 3D Printing capability using Laser Powder-Bed Fusion Many customers prefer to the benefits of metal laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) printers but require better printing performance to achieve micro sizes and smoother surfaces that have generally not been suitable for use in LPBF printers. Xact Metal has developed the capability to print 5-15 µm size powder, which traditionally has been used in the metal injection molding (MIM) industry and in binder metal printers. Based on the XM200G family of printers, the XM200G µHD LPBF printer offers to ability to print 5-15 µm size powder. The system has a laser spot size of 25 µm, a print bed of 140x140x150 mm build area (with an option of 290 mm in the z-direction), and 100, 200 or 400W of laser power. The XM200G µHD allows customers with product development and low-volume manufacturing micro applications like electronics, micro mechanics, antennas and waveguides, defense and medical devices. The printer is in the final stages of development and is expected to start shipping in mid-2026. XM200G µHD Features Single fiber laser 100, 200 or 400W fiber laser options Large 140x140x150 mm build volume with extended Z option up to 290 mm 25 µm spot size Premium F-theta lens for micron consistency across scan field Integrated powder-handling system, including dual glovebox option Small footprint Open material platform Open material print parameters | he XM300G series is ideal for printing high quantities or large parts in high-performance applications where print speed is critical in multiple industries including aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing. The XM300G series is a highly flexible single-, dual-, or quad-laser system that introduces industrial speed and performance at an affordable price, allowing small-to-medium companies to benefit from metal laser powder-bed fusion technology. To increase print speeds, the XM300G provides simultaneous fusion over the entirety of the work area with the option of one, two or four independent lasers. A large 300 x 300 x 350 mm build volume, upgradable to 300 x 300 x 450 mm, a selection of 500W or 1,000W fiber lasers, and an interchangeable build platform to reduce printing cycle time, makes the XM300G well-positioned to support a wide variety of additive manufacturing applications.
