R-1 R-1: Direct Metal R&D Printer
Freeform Fabrication
R-1
Direct Metal R&D Printer
R-1 The ProMetal® R-1™ is a breakthrough in metal rapid prototyping equipment. Designed especially for the needs of research and educational customers, the R1 is an excellent tool for developing powder metal materials and processes, as well as training the next generation of manufacturing engineers and powder metal scientists.

SimplyPrinted Complex 3D Printed Direct Metal Parts 3D Art : Gil Brevel
Functional Metal Parts Printed Directly from CAD ProMetal® printers selectively dispense micro-droplets of specially-engineered binder into micron-thin layers of powder metal. This process creates metal and metal-ceramic tooling and parts direct from CAD data, and is capable of geometric complexity unmatched using conventional manufacturing methods. Applications such as injection molding benefit through the ability to integrate conformal cooling/heating channels into mold tools, significantly reducing the stresses placed on tools and improving molding efficiency.

Forming Process:
Materials Stainless Steel+Bronze, Tool Steel, Gold
Print functional parts in hours directly from CAD Metal parts are built in a layered fashion. Each layer is comprised of two materials add sequentially: A. Powdered Metal recoater applies the powdered metal on the build platform. B. Bound Metal The printhead selectively dispenses the resin in the powdered metal. This temporarly builds the part untill

Before we build a machine solution, we become process experts to the core.
Before we designed our first direct metal printer we dedicated ourselves to understanding and refining the process of solid freeform fabrication of metal tools. The results are clear: our team of engineers, designers and technicians are standing by to work with you to achieve your goals.
