InssTek MX-Lab Compact DED Metal 3D Printer – DMT Alloy Development | 150×150×150 mm
The InssTek MX-Lab is a compact, benchtop-scale DED metal 3D printer for materials research — a 5.9×5.9×5.9 in / 150×150×150 mm envelope, a six-hopper powder feeder blending up to six ratios at once, and the same DMT closed-loop melt-pool control as InssTek’s production systems.
- ✔ Six-hopper Hexa feeder, 0.03–2.0 g/min — high-entropy alloys & functionally graded materials
- ✔ DMT closed-loop control — dense, repeatable coupons for trustworthy data
- ✔ Argon >99.999% at ≤50 ppm O₂ — reactive-alloy research
- ✔ Lead time: configured to order — request a quote for delivery & installation
What your process engineer actually checks
Alloy studies you can trust
The MX-Lab's six-hopper feeder and DMT closed loop let you blend and grade compositions at lab scale — dense, repeatable coupons, so your materials data reflects the alloy, not machine drift.
A materials engineer on the line
Factory-trained engineers, not a ticket queue. New-composition qualification, DMT parameters, and troubleshooting in under 24h — we run directed-energy deposition and powder work ourselves. NDA on request.
The InssTek MX-Lab is a compact, benchtop-scale DED metal 3D printer built for materials research — a 5.9×5.9×5.9 in / 150×150×150 mm envelope, a six-hopper powder feeder, and the same DMT closed-loop melt-pool control as InssTek’s production systems, so alloy studies stay dense and repeatable.
Why researchers choose the MX-Lab
Production-grade DED control at lab scale — for new alloys, gradients, and multi-material studies.
DMT closed-loop melt-pool control
Two vision cameras hold the melt pool layer by layer, so small research builds stay dense and repeatable — essential when you’re comparing alloy compositions, not just making parts.
Six-hopper Hexa feeder
The built-in CVM Hexa feeder blends up to six powders at 0.03–2.0 g/min for titanium, controlling six material ratios at once — the tool for high-entropy alloys and functionally graded materials.
Fine dosing, benchtop footprint
A 150×150×150 mm envelope and 400 µm beam make the MX-Lab an affordable, lab-scale DED system — develop new alloys without committing to a production machine.
Argon-controlled research atmosphere
Argon >99.999% at ≤50 ppm O₂, leak class 1 — reactive-alloy work (Ti, refractory) with the oxygen control your data needs to be trustworthy.
How Additive Plus delivers it
Set up for your research program, supported by engineers who run DED themselves.
Match it to your program
We confirm feeder count, optics and atmosphere against the alloys and gradients you plan to study before you commit.
Install & train on-site
Factory-trained engineers install the MX-Lab, run first deposits, and train your team on MX-OS and Material Designer.
Develop & support
We help build DMT parameter sets for new compositions and stay on the line for your studies — sub-4h reply, NDA on request.
