One of the most effective brands in Asian 3D market, InssTek offers desktop metal printing opportunity without sacrificing quality.
South Korea based InssTek attracts interest with metal solutions. Presented at Formnext 2016, the company provides simplicity with MX-Mini educational and research metal productions.
Despite the small frame of the new 3D printer, InssTek has been careful to keep its build space as maximized as possible. With a total size of 850 x 850 x 950 mm and a weight of 300 kg, the build space has still been maintained at a very reasonable 200 x 200 x 200 mm. The desktop metal 3D printer is also equipped with a 300W Ytterbium Fiber Laser, a PC-based control system with a 15 touch system, three-axis motion, and two powder hoppers, meaning it can print in multiple materials.
According to the 3D printer manufacturer, the MX-Mini was developed primarily for Research and Development and education purposes. Its small size means it can fit into smaller work spaces without cutting back on quality or having to opt for plastic 3D printing. Of course, parts printed on the machine will inevitably be limited in scale, though this shouldn’t pose a problem for R&D or education purposes. InssTek has also said that its compact metal 3D printer will have applications in the aerospace and electronic industries in the future, presumably when it is further developed.
