About Desktop metal
Desktop Metal™ is a company that has revolutionized the world of 3D printing by making metal and carbon fiber 3D printing accessible to all engineers, designers, and manufacturers. The company was founded in 2015 by Ric Fulop, Jonah Myerberg, Ely Sachs, and Chris Schuh with the aim of creating a new era of additive manufacturing.
The company's mission is to make metal 3D printing as easy as desktop printing. They have developed a range of innovative products that are designed to meet the needs of different industries. Desktop Metal™ offers two main product lines: Studio System™ and Production System™.
The Studio System™ is an office-friendly metal 3D printer that allows engineers and designers to create complex parts in-house without having to outsource their work. This system uses Bound Metal Deposition (BMD) technology which involves extruding bound metal rods instead of powder or wire feedstock. This makes it safer and easier for users to handle the materials while also reducing waste.
The Production System™ is designed for high-volume production applications where speed and efficiency are critical factors. It uses Single Pass Jetting (SPJ) technology which enables it to print at speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional laser-based systems. This system can produce complex parts with high accuracy at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional manufacturing methods.
Desktop Metal's products have been widely adopted across various industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, consumer goods, education institutions among others due their unique features such as speed-to-market capabilities; reduced costs; improved part performance; design freedom; sustainability benefits among others.
In addition to its innovative products line-up Desktop Metal has also developed software solutions that enable users optimize designs for additive manufacturing through generative design tools like Live PartsTM which creates optimized structures based on user-defined constraints or goals using simulation algorithms powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
Desktop Metal has received numerous awards since its inception including being named one of MIT Technology Review’s “50 Smartest Companies” in 2017 &2020 , Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies” in Manufacturing category in both years too ,and Forbes’ “Next Billion-Dollar Startups” list among others .
In conclusion Desktop Metals' commitment towards innovation has made them one of the leading companies within additive manufacturing industry . Their focus on accessibility through affordable pricing models coupled with ease-of-use features makes them an ideal choice for businesses looking into adopting this technology . With their continued growth trajectory we can expect more exciting developments from this company in future!
