Metal 3D Printing Machines — LPBF & FDM

Metal 3D printers

Metal 3D printers — from a $59,000 benchtop LPBF system to multi-laser production machines. We design and build the AO Metal line in the USA and we are the US supplier for Farsoon, InssTek and Caracol, so the machine we point you to is the one that fits your parts, not the one we happen to build. Prices below are real list prices, not “contact us”.

AO Metal A30

$59,000 at 200 W · $64,000 at 300 W

Benchtop LPBF, Ø30 × 60 mm build, 1064 nm fiber laser, 110 V, argon under 2 L/min. The first metal machine in the building — alloy development, test coupons, teaching labs. A trial build takes about 71 g of 316L.

AO Metal A50

from $89,000

Floor-standing LPBF, Ø50 × 100 mm build, 300–1000 W. An optional 445 nm blue laser and 900 °C heated platform are what make copper, gold and silver workable.

AO Metal A100

from $99,000

The same machine as the A50 with four times the build area — Ø100 × 100 mm, 300–1000 W, the same blue-laser and heated-platform options, larger parts.

What comes with an AO Metal system. AO Build Studio, a spare-parts kit, warranty and training, and the print programs our team has already validated for your alloys. Made in the USA, 8–14 weeks from order.

Installation and commissioning are done in the USA. Our US service team handles facility and gas planning, start-up and operator training on every metal machine on this page — not only the ones we build.

Also here. Farsoon — from the compact FS121M to the FS721M, production LPBF up to 720 × 420 × 420 mm with multi-laser configurations. InssTek MX-Lab, MX-Fab and MX-Med — directed energy deposition for repair, cladding, functionally graded materials and porous implants. Caracol Vipra AM — robotic WAAM in a nine-axis cell, up to 6 kg/h.

How buying works. Universities, colleges and schools receive academic pricing — 5% below list on the printer. Financing and leasing are available. A refundable $4,500 deposit holds a production slot while the rest of the decision is being made, and it is credited against the order.

Not sure which machine? Tell us the alloy you plan to run, the size of a typical part, and whether this is research, teaching or production — we will name one machine and one configuration rather than a catalogue. A formal quotation on our letterhead, with configuration, price, payment terms and lead time, goes out within one business day. You can also call us on +1 (747) 800-4854.

And if you want to make your own powder, we are the US distributor for ATO ultrasonic atomizers and for Microtrac particle analyzers including the Camsizer X2 — atomize, analyze and print through one partner, with custom alloy batches in three to four weeks when you would rather not run it yourself.
