The ExOne Company (ExOne), an additive manufacturing company based in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, announced yesterday a new material partnership program to make advancements in metal binder jet additive manufacturing.
The global enterprise program will focus on process developments and powder optimization on ExOne’s metal systems, which will advance 3D binder jetted metal and ceramic applications.
The partners will use their application engineering knowledge, powder material expertise, and additive manufacturing process experience, along with ExOne’s additive manufacturing solutions, to produce new materials and enhance process optimization with ExOne’s metal 3D printing machines.
“By partnering with elite material companies, we further advance our 3D binder jetting printing processes, which will propel us to the next generation in materials and product development,” ExOne CEO John Hartner said. “We believe these partnerships will retain our significant edge over other technologies in the industrial additive manufacturing space and enable broader customer adoption.”
As part of the material partnership program, ExOne will provide partners with global access to ExOne machines including the Innovent+ and beta usage on the new X1 25PRO.
ExOne expects to launch the program with qualified partners in the coming months.
