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.

dmt technology
The most precise DED Technology.
DMT® is Direct Metal Tooling, developed by InssTek and categorized as Direct Energy Disposition(DED) technology according to ASTM standards. Using 2 vision cameras, DMT technology analyzes and controls the height of the meltpool in real-time.
MX-Lab Function
Built-in feeder
CVM (Clogged Vibration Method) system is a new type of powder feeding system. It has impressively stable powder feed rate, semi-permanent life time and broad feeding rate range. It can feed the titanium powder from 0.03g/min to 2.0g/min with no hardware change. Also this system is applicable with gravity powder supply method and direct powder supply method with gas in DED process.
Auto Z
Automatically adjusts the distance between sample and nozzle to WOP(9mm) layer by layer during deposition.
Laser Control
Sets the appropriate laser power for the material at the desired location based on NC-Code when producing a multi material sample.
