- First launched in 2020, the Production System P-1 metal binder
jet 3D printer will now be offered with a Reactive Safety Kit that
unlocks high-speed production of ultra-fine titanium and aluminum
powders with critical safety features
- The P-1 uses Desktop Metal’s patent-pending, high-speed Single
Pass Jetting™ (SPJ) technology in an inert environment and can
complete each part layer in less than 3 seconds, depending on
material, with full builds printable in less than one hour
- The P-1 is ideal for R&D scaling to full production on
large binder jet systems and batch or serial production of small,
complex parts
- Detroit-based TriTech Titanium Parts, an experienced
manufacturer of titanium parts for the commercial and industrial
markets, has been testing the P-1 with a Reactive Safety Kit for
two years and is now printing both titanium and aluminum parts
- DM currently has contracts with six major manufacturers — four
in the automotive industry, one in commercial lighting and another
medical implant firm — to scale titanium and aluminum projects,
with an eye on serial production of complex components
- Large aluminum parts are now being 3D printed for highly
qualified customers at DM's Burlington Headquarters using an
upgraded X25Pro with a 25-liter build volume
- The Desktop Metal Production System P-1, as well as an array of
printed titanium and aluminum parts, will be on display June 25-27
at RAPID + TCT at the Los Angeles Convention Center
Desktop Metal (NYSE: DM), a global leader in Additive
Manufacturing 2.0 technologies for mass production, today announced
the launch of a Reactive Safety Kit for the Production System P-1 —
unlocking safe, high-speed binder jet 3D printing of both titanium
and aluminum.

The Desktop Metal Production System P-1
is a binder jet 3D printing system that's ideal for R&D scaling
to full production on large binder jet systems and batch or serial
production of small, complex parts. The P-1 is capable of
processing 17 metals, but a Reactive Safety Kit is required for 3D
printing titanium and aluminum. (Photo: Business Wire)
In development and testing for more than two years, the P-1
Reactive Safety Kit features ATEX-rated components, as well as
critical hardware and software updates to ensure the highest level
of safety. ATEX certification is given to equipment that has
undergone rigorous testing outlined by European Union directives
and is considered safe to use in specific environments with
explosive atmospheres.
“Titanium and aluminum are two of the most frequently requested
materials at Desktop Metal, and we’re proud to say that we can now
offer a commercial 3D printer with the necessary safety features to
binder jet 3D print these materials,” said Ric Fulop, Founder and
CEO of Desktop Metal. “Based on our ongoing projects with major
manufacturers, we know our technology is well on its way to
unlocking new designs that deliver higher performance, weight
reductions, and other benefits – all with our high-speed 3D
printing technology that makes Additive Manufacturing more
affordable for production volumes. We are diligently following our
roadmap to deliver high-volume production of these materials on our
largest printers in the future.”
A number of DM customers are already binder jetting titanium and
aluminum today. “Our team at TriTech has found binder jetting to be
a good complement to our metal injection molding (MIM) business,”
said Robert Swenson, owner of TriTech and also the former owner of
AmeriTi. Swenson is a graduate of Purdue University with a degree
in Metallurgical Engineering and an MBA from Harvard Business
School. “With binder jet 3D printing, titanium production of even
the most complex geometries can be greatly simplified and achieved
at a lower cost. We’re excited to offer this cutting-edge
manufacturing technology to our customers.”
Additionally, Desktop Metal has several significant projects in
development with major manufacturers using a variety of specialty
materials developed by Kymera International, including titanium and
aluminum. “Since formalizing our partnership in 2021 through a
Joint Development Agreement, we have been excited to work closely
with Desktop Metal to develop a range of metal powder solutions
optimized for the binder jetting process,” said Joe Croteau,
Technology Manager – Specialty Materials with Kymera. A leading
global supplier of specialty materials and surface technologies,
Kymera International has contributed decades of metallurgical
expertise and process knowledge to offer sintered aluminum alloys
with excellent performance. “Kymera’s well-established
relationships with a diverse group of customers has given us the
opportunity to focus on the needs of high-volume manufacturers, and
we are proud to now have a commercially established solution. Over
the past two years, we’ve successfully printed a variety of
aluminum geometries and part sizes through multiple programs."
The Desktop Metal Production System P-1, as well as an array of
titanium and aluminum designs, including those 3D printed by
TriTech, will be on display June 25-27 at RAPID + TCT at the Los
Angeles Convention Center. DM will be located in Booth No.
2139.
Binder Jetting Offers Wide Range of Benefits
Binder Jetting is widely regarded as the fastest method of metal
3D printing for high-volume output. It uses a digital file to
quickly inkjet a binder into a bed of powder particles such as
metal, sand, or ceramic to create a solid part, one thin layer at a
time. When printing metals, the final bound metal part must be
sintered in a furnace to fuse the particles together into a solid
object.
Binder jet 3D printing, compared to both traditional
manufacturing and other forms of 3D printing, enables manufacturers
to more affordably produce complex parts with unique benefits, such
as size and weight reductions, part consolidation, and performance
improvements.
Because of the broad material flexibility of binder jet 3D
printing, Desktop Metal employs a tiered qualification system for
production of powdered materials:
- Qualified Materials come with complete printing and
sintering profiles with fully characterized material and mechanical
properties
- Customer-Qualified Materials have printing and sintering
profiles developed by or in partnership with customers and/or
partners with material and mechanical properties suitable for
specific applications
- R&D Qualified Materials have demonstrated binder and
process compatibility with our printers, with final printing and
sintering profiles under development by DM or our customers
In all, more than 30 metals and ceramics are qualified on DM
printers. The Production System P-1 is qualified to 3D print 17
metals, including stainless steels, low-alloy steels, copper
alloys, tool steels, nickel-based alloys, precious metals, and
more.
With today’s announcement, titanium (Ti64) is now classified as
Customer-Qualified on both the P-1 and X-Series models when
upgraded with an inert atmosphere and other safety features.
Aluminum is now classified as Customer-Qualified on the X-Series
and R&D Qualified on the P-1 when upgraded with an inert
atmosphere and other safety features.
