Rick Lucas, ExOne’s Chief Technology Officer, noted, “We are pleased to bring the new X1 25PRO™ to market to satisfy the needs of industry for high quality, functional, production-volume parts. ExOne has a pioneering legacy of being on the cutting edge of introducing materials and processes using binder jetting. We currently have machines installed in customer facilities in more than twenty countries around the globe and we are proud to bring innovations like the X1 25PRO™ to realization. Our X1 25PRO™ is the first of two machines that we are introducing by the end of the first half of 2019, utilizing our state-of-the-art patent pending MIM powder processing machine technologies. We believe these new production machines will be the most flexible and highest performing binder jetting machines in the market.”

The X1 25PRO™ allows customers of ExOne’s INNOVENT+™ platform to scale up to a mid-size production platform using the same powder metallurgy standard powders they are currently using. The platform will focus on the MIM, powder metallurgy, and mechanical engineering market applications.

ExOne will begin taking orders for the X1 25PRO™ system immediately. Stop by ExOne’s booth at the Formnext additive manufacturing trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany from 13 November to 16 November to learn more about the system details. Customers will have the opportunity to see the X1 25 PRO™ on display at the RAPID + TCT 3D event in Detroit on May 21-23, 2019.
