Accessible Metal Powder-Bed Fusion with XACT Metal 3D Printers
The XM Series 3D metal printers are making waves in the industry, establishing a new level of price and performance. The printers deploy fiber laser-based powder-bed fusion technology by selectively fusing thin layers of metal powder to create parts directly from a 3D-CAD model. Powered by our patented Xact Core™ high-speed gantry system, the XM Series continues to revolutionize metal 3D printing.

Leading Technology
Xact Core™
Making quality metal printing accessible requires innovation. Xact Metal’s printing technology is built on the patent-pending Xact Core, a high-speed gantry system platform that allows light, simple mirrors to move quickly and consistently above the powder bed on an X-Y axis.
- Avoids the use of complex rotating galvanometer mirrors and F-theta lenses
- Maintains a constant laser angle across the whole build plate
- A simplified gas flow over the powder bed due to the smaller build chamber
