Xact Metal

Xact Metal offers a range of additive manufacturing solutions, including metal 3D printers, materials, and related software. Its range of 3D printers caters to a range of industrial metal powder-bed fusion applications that require prototyping, tooling capabilities, or low-volume casting alternatives. Moreover, the company provides AM materials such as stainless steel, tool steel, super alloys, copper, titanium, and aluminum as well as software for AM processes.

Xact Metal offers three series of AM printers: 1) XM200C, a lower-priced entry point into its product suite; 2) XM200G, a model with higher throughput for industrial applications; and 3) the XM300G Series, which offers an expanded print area and supports various configurations, including single, dual, or quad lasers. The company’s software includes a graphic user interface for users to load files, set up builds, and monitor the build process.

Key customers and partnerships

The company has entered into a number of partnerships to expand its sales across more than 40 countries. These partnerships include 4th Dimension Technologies, Addictive Systems, Join3D, Prototech, 3DCRIAR and 3Dees Industries, among many others.

Additionally, the company has also partnered with material providers such as Bego Medical, Carpenter Additive, and Praxair Surface Technologies to offer certified materials and with software providers like Materialise and Oqton to offer software options for its customers. In March 2024, the company partnered with Uddeholm, a manufacturer of steel tools, to supply Corrax tool steel for tooling and molding applications.

In February 2024, Xact Metal partnered with GPAINNOVA US, a metal surface finishing solutions provider, to integrate the latter’s dry electropolishing technology, DryLyte, into its 3D printers for post-processing. The integration provides users with an end-to-end solution incorporating automation in manufacturing and finishing processes. It went on to partner with PanOptimization, a provider of simulation software, in September 2024, to integrate the latter’s additive simulation tool named PanX with its 3D printing solution. The partnership enables users to improve machine performance, understand metal behavior, and optimize printed parts
