What your process engineer actually checks
Locked, traceable lot chemistry
Every lot ships with a COA documenting PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace. Aerospace and medical teams reorder 4+ times without re-qualifying.
Qualified parameters, not just powder
Validated parameter sets for EOS M 290, Renishaw 500Q, SLM 280, and our own AO Metal LPBF ship with the order. Load the profile and hit density on the first build — no parameter-development burn.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
Metal & technical-ceramic parts. On your bench. No laser.
The 3DCeram M.A.T. prints dense metal and technical ceramics by extrusion — even silicon carbide — then green-machines them in one setup. Built to order for your materials.

What you can make

From dense stainless-steel and titanium components to silicon carbide, zirconia and alumina ceramics, the M.A.T. turns your CAD into real, load-bearing hardware — the kind of parts that used to require an outside service bureau or a powder-bed system you couldn’t justify. Prototype on Monday, iterate by Friday, and keep your IP in-house under NDA.
No laser. No loose powder. No powder room.
The M.A.T. prints bound feedstock — filament, pellets, or paste — in which metal or ceramic particles are held in a binder. There is no laser and no free-flowing reactive powder, so you skip the inert-gas handling, the powder room, and most of the safety overhead that keeps metal AM out of normal labs.
| M.A.T. (extrusion) | Metal LPBF (laser powder bed) | |
|---|---|---|
| Feedstock | Bound filament / pellet / paste — safe to handle | Loose, reactive metal powder |
| Hazards | No laser, minimal PPE | Class-4 laser, inert gas, powder room |
| Install | Single-phase outlet, fits a lab | 3-phase power, facility upgrades |
| Materials | Metals + technical ceramics + silicone | Metals only |
| Entry cost | From $70,000 | Typically $300k–$1M+ |
Why buy the M.A.T. from Additive Plus
Additive Plus is the official 3DCeram representative in the United States. You get the machine, the materials, and the know-how to run it from one accountable US partner — not a box shipped from overseas.
Proven maker — 3DCeram ceramics in orbit
The M.A.T. comes from 3DCeram (Sinto) — the team that took newspace startup AnyWaves, a CNES (French space agency) spin-off, from a blank page to space-qualified zirconia ceramic antennas in 18 months, using the same technical-ceramic materials the M.A.T. runs. AnyWaves is now one of the world’s leading small-satellite antenna makers.

One machine, four tools
▣ FFF head
Ceramic and metal filaments, with the reliability of fused-filament fabrication.
◈ Direct Pellet Extrusion
Feeds pellets directly — lower feedstock cost, higher throughput for runs.
◆ Paste / robocasting
Extrudes ceramic slurry or silicone for fine, complex geometries.
▤ 3-axis CNC
Green-machines parts before firing for a superior surface finish — in one setup.
Tune the inside, not just the outside
Because the M.A.T. deposits material instead of melting a powder bed, it is the only approach that lets you build parts with fully customizable infill — reinforce only where the load path needs it, and tune weight, strength, or material usage part by part.

Signature It prints silicon carbide — most printers can’t

Silicon carbide, zirconia, alumina: the hard, heat- and wear-resistant ceramics most desktop printers can’t touch. The M.A.T. shapes them green, then you debind and sinter to full function. Metals too — 316L, 17-4PH, titanium and copper — plus silicone via the paste head.
316L, 17-4PH, Titanium, Copper
Zirconia, Alumina, SiC
Compatible filaments and pellets ship with the printer, with datasheets and validated parameters on request. Need an alloy or ceramic that isn’t on the list? Custom filament and pellet development from your own powder is possible.
Built for production teams
How the M.A.T. process works
- Print — deposit metal or ceramic feedstock via FFF, pellet, or paste extrusion.
- Green-machine (optional) — switch to the 3-axis CNC in the same setup to refine surfaces before firing.
- Debind — remove the binder from the printed green part.
- Sinter — densify under heat so particles fuse into a strong, fully functional part.

From process engineers running 3DCeram M.A.T. — Metal & Ceramic 3D Printer
Unedited feedback from customers who reorder 3DCeram M.A.T. — Metal & Ceramic 3D Printer.
Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.
Asked about ferrite content on a Friday. A materials engineer answered Monday morning with actual data, not a sales pitch. That's why we keep ordering.
COA matches the bottle. PSD and flow are exactly what was on the sheet — we run it on a Renishaw 500Q and it hits density on the first try.
