FAQ

When will the Base-Metal 1.0 be available

The machine is currently in the final part of the prototype phase.

After the prototype phase is completed the final design can be made which will contain the lessons learned from the prototype and it will make the system easier to produce and maintain.

What materials are under development

Currently the stainless steel 316L process is being developed.

Once the final system is designed and the 316L development is completed an aluminum alloy will be chosen.

About us

Metal-Base is a starting company near Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The development started as a hobby project to see if it is possible to create a consumer priced SLM 3D printer. Already quite early with the first prototypes the concept showed great promise and that lead to the development of the latest prototype that can print full density parts with good surface quality in 316L stainless steel.
