Variety of materials for research and development
The InnoventX is designed for maximum material flexibility. Over 30 metals and ceramics - from stainless steel and titanium to hard metals and precious metals - can be processed with various binder systems. Thanks to its open platform, the system is ideal for material development, testing new applications and use in research facilities and training centers.
Print quality, repeatability and sintering expertise
The patented Triple ACT technology ensures high component density and repeatability through precise dosing, even distribution and controlled compaction. In combination with the Live Sinter™ software, shrinkage and warpage can be digitally compensated for in advance. The result: components with tight tolerances, fine surfaces (up to 4 µm Ra) and industry-standard dimensional accuracy - even with complex geometries.
Easy entry into industrial binder jet printing
With its compact design, intuitive user interface and integrated safety functions, the InnoventX offers an uncomplicated introduction to metal binder jet printing. The system processes cost-effective MIM powder, requires little space and is quickly ready for use - ideal for development teams, universities or pilot productions. If required, the technology can be easily scaled up to larger production systems.
System overview: From the green part to the finished metal component
The InnoventX produces so-called green parts - precisely shaped blanks in which metal powder is bonded in layers with the help of a binding agent. In order to produce resilient, sintered metal parts, the component goes through a clearly defined post-processing chain. Desktop Metal offers suitable equipment for each step - alternatively, existing, compatible systems can also be used.
1. 3D printing with the InnoventX
Using the binder jetting process, the InnoventX produces detailed green parts with high reproducibility. The combination of Triple ACT technology and an open material system enables the processing of a wide range of metal and ceramic powders - ideal for material development, research and functional prototyping.
Features:
✔ InnoventX 3D printer
✔ Print resolution up to 800 DPI
✔ Supports over 30 materials
2. powder recovery with the Powder Station
After printing, the green part is removed from the powder bed and the excess powder is removed. Desktop Metal offers a closed powder station with integrated extraction for this purpose - alternatively, existing powder removal solutions can also be used.
Features:
✔ Closed working chamber with viewing window
✔ Extraction and filter system
✔ Recyclable powder handling
3. drying for stable handling
Before sintering, the green part must be dried to remove the solvent in the binder. This improves dimensional stability and reduces the risk of cracks. The recommended drying oven is compact and process-tested - if required, proprietary systems can also be used.
Features:
✔ Temperature range up to 200 °C
✔ Uniform air flow
✔ Compatible with typical laboratory setups
4. sintering with industrial density
The dried green part is debinded and compacted in the sintering furnace. The PureSinter™ furnace from Desktop Metal offers a coordinated solution for MIM-compatible materials - alternatively, existing, suitable sintering systems can also be used.
Features:
✔ Sintering temperatures up to 1400 °C
✔ Process control optimized for binder jetting materials
✔ Final densities up to 99 %
