What your process engineer actually checks

What your process engineer actually checks

Melt-pool control you can trust

DMT's closed-loop vision system measures and corrects the melt pool every layer — density and repeatability without babysitting the machine, and parameter sets that transfer across builds.

An applications engineer on the line

Factory-trained engineers, not a ticket queue. Alloy qualification, DMT parameters, and process troubleshooting in under 24h — we run directed-energy deposition and powder work ourselves. NDA standard.

About this product

The InssTek MX-Fab is an all-in-one 5-axis DED metal 3D printer that builds, clads, and repairs dense metal parts up to 31×39×28 in / 800×1000×700 mm — driven by InssTek’s DMT closed-loop process that measures and corrects the melt pool in real time, layer by layer.

InssTek MX-Fab DED metal 3D printer - 5-axis DMT production system
InssTek MX-Fab — all-in-one 5-axis directed-energy-deposition system with integrated laser, chiller, purifier and vacuum pump.

Why engineers choose the MX-Fab

Directed energy deposition with closed-loop control — built for production, repair, and multi-material parts.

DMT closed-loop melt-pool control

Coaxial vision cameras measure melt-pool height every layer and adjust laser and powder in real time — dense, repeatable deposits without constant operator tuning.

True 5-axis deposition

An A-axis of −100° to +100° plus a 360° C-axis let the nozzle follow complex geometry and add metal to existing parts — cladding, repair, and near-net-shape fabrication on one bed.

Up to six powder feeders

The CVM feeder runs a standard 2 up to 6 hoppers at 0.05–20 g/min, so you can grade composition mid-build or combine alloys — e.g. an Al-bronze liner inside an Inconel 625 shell.

Inert-gas process integrity

The optional argon chamber holds >99.999% purity at ≤50 ppm O₂ — the oxygen control reactive alloys like titanium need for sound, low-oxide deposits.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

What is DMT and how is it different from powder-bed metal 3D printing?
DMT (Direct Metal Tooling) is InssTek's directed-energy-deposition process: powder is blown into a laser-generated melt pool through a coaxial nozzle while vision cameras measure and correct melt-pool height in real time. Unlike powder-bed fusion, the MX-Fab can add metal onto existing parts — so it fabricates, clads, and repairs — and its 5-axis motion reaches geometry a flat powder bed cannot.
What alloys can the MX-Fab print?
The MX-Fab runs a broad DMT library: titanium (CP Ti, Ti-6Al-4V), nickel superalloys (Inconel 625/718 and others), stainless and tool steels (SS316L, H13, P20), cobalt alloys (CoCr, Stellite) and copper alloys (Al-bronze). Powder is spherical, typically 45–150 µm. With up to six feeders it can grade composition or combine alloys in one build, and Additive Plus can help qualify additional grades.
What is the build volume of the MX-Fab?
The MX-Fab has an X/Y/Z stroke of 31.5×39.4×27.6 in / 800×1000×700 mm — one of the larger DED envelopes available — and adds A-axis (−100° to +100°) and C-axis (360°) rotation for true 5-axis deposition. A smaller-envelope configuration is also offered; an Additive Plus engineer will confirm the right size for your parts.
Can the MX-Fab repair and clad existing parts, not just print new ones?
Yes. Because DMT deposits metal onto a substrate, the MX-Fab is widely used to repair worn turbine blades, rebuild tool-steel dies, and clad wear or corrosion surfaces with Stellite or Inconel. The 5-axis motion lets the nozzle follow the original part geometry. This ability to add metal to existing parts is a core reason energy, tooling and aerospace shops choose DED over powder-bed.
What does multi-material printing on the MX-Fab enable?
The CVM powder feeder runs up to six hoppers at 0.05–20 g/min, so the MX-Fab can change composition mid-build. Teams use this for functionally graded parts and for combining alloys in one component — for example an Inconel 625 outer wall with an Al-bronze inner liner on a rocket nozzle, removing a braze joint. Additive Plus helps develop the parameter sets.
What is the lead time and what is included with installation?
The MX-Fab is configured to order, so lead time depends on laser power, optics module and feeder count — request a quote and an engineer will confirm the schedule. Delivery includes on-site installation, operator training on MX-OS and MiXO Pro, and DMT parameter support for your first qualified alloys. Leasing and financing are available for capital equipment.
Does the MX-Fab need an inert atmosphere?
For reactive alloys like titanium, yes — the optional argon chamber holds >99.999% purity at ≤50 ppm oxygen, which is needed for sound, low-oxide deposits. Less reactive alloys can run with local shielding. An Additive Plus applications engineer will match the atmosphere configuration to the alloys you plan to run.
