3D printer manufacturer Desktop Metal announced that Houston-based AmPd Labs has ordered the new PureSinter furnace – a high-purity vacuum furnace that offers best-in-class debinding and sintering performance at an affordable price.
AmPd Labs, a Desktop Metal customer since 2021, offers a wide range of additive manufacturing services across the entire product lifecycle – from design and prototyping to series production. In addition to Desktop Metal’s laser-free binder jetting technology, AmPd Labs’ portfolio also includes DLP, SLS and traditional manufacturing technologies for metal and polymer parts.
“We are thrilled to add the Pure Sinter Furnace to our fleet of Desktop Metal equipment,” said Sean Harkins, COO & Co-Founder of AmPd Labs. “Pure Sinter is a technological game changer that will enable us to rapidly meet high-volume customer production demands.”
Introduced at RAPID + TCT in Los Angeles in June, the PureSinter furnace revolutionizes furnace design from the ground up with an entirely new, patented approach. PureSinter features hot walls that prevent the buildup of impurities and an airtight processing environment that ensures efficient waste removal and the highest levels of purity.
“AmPd Labs is one of our standout Super Fleet customers with three or more of our laser-free metal printers, and we’re delighted to see them embrace our breakthrough new furnace technology,” said Ric Fulop, Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal. “PureSinter is an exemplary demonstration of the innovation for which Desktop Metal and our engineers are known. We believe this furnace will revolutionize sinter-based AM and the traditional furnace industry.”
The PureSinter furnace is compatible with powder metal parts produced using 3D printing processes such as Bound Metal Deposition (BMD) and Binder Jetting (BJT), as well as traditional manufacturing processes such as Metal Injection Molding (MIM) or Press and Sinter (PM).
These technological advances underscore Desktop Metal’s ongoing efforts to develop innovative solutions to the challenges of additive manufacturing and expand its customers’ production capabilities. The PureSinter furnace promises to be an important milestone in the development of advanced manufacturing technologies and to further increase efficiency and quality in metal processing.
