What your process engineering lead actually checks
Supported by the team that runs it
We run AO Metal and partner systems daily for our own print services, so install, training, and first builds are handled by engineers who actually operate the machine. When you call support, you reach the team that qualified it.
An applications engineer on the line
Questions on build volume, laser config, throughput, or material compatibility? A named applications engineer scopes it directly — not a sales rep. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
Start with the Core — add heads as you need them
The M.A.T. Core ($63,100) ships with the FFF print head and the 3-axis CNC. Add the Pellet, Paste/DIW or dual-head option below — your cart total reflects the exact configuration.

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 $63,000 | 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.
