At Xact Metal™, we’re taking the essential specs for metal powder-bed fusion (commonly known as Selective Laser Melting or Direct Metal Laser Sintering) and combining them with breakthrough technology to establish a new level of price and performance for additive manufacturing. We’re dedicated to supporting the next generation of innovative manufacturing solutions powered by metal 3D printing.
Our direct metal powder-bed fusion technology aligns with additive manufacturing needs in a variety of industries.
Matt Woods laid the foundation for Xact Metal when he recognized the need for additive manufacturing to offer higher performance in a sustainable way. More than just spotting an industry gap, Matt saw a problem and built a machine to solve it, the genesis of the Xact Metal line of metal 3D printers.
With a desire to enable manufacturers to experience the benefits of high-quality 3D metal printing at the best price possible, Xact Metal will change the perception that additive manufacturing is only for capital-rich companies.
Xact Metal has received funding from Ben Franklin Technology Partners and operates out of Penn State University’s Innovation Park, home to some of the leading tech companies in Pennsylvania. Xact Metal is located in State College, which has been voted in the top 10 best small towns to live and in the top 10 for start-up businesses in the United States.
