Affordable Metal Powder 3D Printing
Produce highly dense components and reduce your total build cycle time by 50%
The Xact Metal XM200C makes quality metal powder-bed fusion 3D printing available to universities, labs and small-to-medium businesses that need prototyping and tooling.
By taking the essential additive manufacturing specs for metal powder-bed fusion (commonly known as Selective Laser Melting or Direct Metal Laser Sintering) and combining them with breakthrough technology, the XM200C is able to offer uncompromising quality for manufacturers.
Metal powder-bed fusion provides high-quality and complex parts. It reduces total cycle time by about 50% and removes the need for wash/debinder and sintering/oven equipment used in bound metal deposition, atomic deposition additive manufacturing or other FDM-like metal 3D printers.
XM200C Key Features
Accessible Metal Powder-Bed Fusion 3D Printing
Large cubic build volume, 125 in³ (5 x 5 x 5 in) 2,048 cc (127 x 127 x 127 mm), allows you to print multiple parts more efficiently and quickly.
Patent-pending Xact Core™ high-speed scanner fuses at speeds up to 500 mm/sec. The beam is constantly orthogonal across the entire powder bed surface, which produces consistent fusing properties throughout the complete build area.
Build chamber is easy to set up, quick to purge and simple to clean and maintain.
100W Yb fiber laser provides optimal power density and prints 20-100 μm layers with a spot size greater than 20 microns, providing precision to your build.
Small printer footprint, approx. 24 x 24 x 51 in³ - W x D x H (610 x 610 x 1,295 mm³), makes it easier to include additive manufacturing in your factory, lab or facility.

Metal Powder Bed Fusion Build Process
6 step process to go from CAD to physical part
Step 1: POWDER FEED
Feed cylinder increments up placing powder in front of the recoater.
Step 2: ADDING POWDER LAYER
Recoater moves across the feed cylinder delivering powder to the build cylinder.
Step 3: FUSION
Laser fuses the cross section of the part.
Step 4: BUILD CYLINDER
Build cylinder increments down one thickness layer.
Step 5: COMPLETNG THE BUILD
The process is repeated until the volume of the part is fully built.
Step 6: BUILD PLATE AND PART REMOVAL
The build cylinder raises up and the build plate is removed.
XM200C Benefits
The Latest Metal 3D Printing Technology
Innovative Printing Technology
Making quality metal printing accessible requires innovation. Xact Metal’s printing technology is built on the patent-pending Xact Core, a high-speed gantry system platform that allows light, simple mirrors to move quickly and consistently above the powder bed on an X-Y axis.
- Avoids the use of complex rotating galvanometer mirrors and F-theta lenses
- Maintains a constant laser angle across the whole build plate
- A simplified gas flow over the powder bed due to the smaller build chamber
Patent-Pending Recoater
Recoater performance can directly affect the quality of your build. Our patented recoater design offers a variety of benefits.
- Unique “bulb” shape of the recoating element spreads powder like a blade, yet provides compaction similar to a rolling element
- Compliant design allows the recoater to negotiate out-of-plane growth and continue printing
- Mounting the recoater to the machine lid allows the entire recoating mechanism to be removed from the build chamber
- Easy access to the build chamber allows for simple recoater replacement and adjustments
Touchscreen UI
The modern, interactive graphic user interface (GUI) for the Xact Metal printers makes loading files, setting up builds and monitoring the build process quick and easy.
- Home screen displays real-time build monitoring with two cameras
- Chamber setup screen allows customer to optimize print parameters
- Build queue screen provides a description of all builds to be printed
- Monitoring screen shows behavior of important parameters such as bed temperature, chamber temperature and pressure and oxygen percentage
