Desktop Metal-Studio
An end-to-end solution
The Studio System is a three-part solution that automates metal 3D printing. Tightly integrated through Desktop Metal’s cloud-based software, it delivers a seamless workflow for printing complex metal parts in-house—from digital file to sintered part.
Printer
Unlike laser-based systems that selectively melt metal powder, the printer extrudes bound metal rods—similar to how an FDM printer works. This eliminates the safety requirements often associated with metal 3D printing while enabling new features like the use of closed-cell infill for lightweight strength.
| Build area | w 30 d 20 h 20 cm (12 x 8 x 8 in) |
| Build rate | 16 cm³/hr (1 in³/hr) |
| Min layer height | 50 µm |
Debinder
The debinder prepares green parts for sintering by dissolving primary binder. With a low emission design, it requires no external ventilation and is safe for an office environment. Automatic fluid distillation and recycling means there is no need to refill between each cycle.
| Fluid volume | 17.4 L (4.6 gal) max |
| Vapor mgmt | no external ventilation required |
| Footprint | w 74 h 102 d 57 cm (29 x 40 x 23 in) |
Furnace
Fully-automated and sized to fit through an office door, the furnace delivers industrial-strength sintering in an office-friendly package. Built-in temperature profiles tuned to every build and material ensure uniform heating and cooling without the residual stresses introduced in laser-based systems.
