The Studio System was designed from the ground-up for simple installation and use. Its process is similar to the safest, most widely used 3D printing process—Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). Unlike laser-based systems that selectively melt metal powder, the Studio System™ printer extrudes bound metal rods, eliminating requirements associated with metal 3D printing and enabling new features like closed-cell infill for lightweight strength.
Print and sinter
The Studio System features a simplified, easy-to-manage two-step process
Eliminates separate solvent debind phase
Place printed parts directly into the furnace
Nearly hands-off experience.

Cartridge system for materials
Reliable processing
With major process and materials improvements the Studio System is designed to deliver parts consistently the first time.
Excellent first-time part success, reducing the trial-and-error process common with other metal manufacturing processes
Re-engineered interface layer material for more even shrinkage during sintering and increased part success across an array of geometries
Excellent part properties
Leveraging decades of Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology, the Studio System 2 delivers the material properties required for demanding applications. The bulk sintering process allows for homogenous microstructure, critical for end use parts.
Material properties exceeding Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) standards
New gyroid infill creates strong parts, ideal for end-use applications
Customizable print settings
With a process based on FFF printing, the Studio System 2 offers dozens of parameters for fine-tuning, making it easy to tailor parts to your exact needs.
Built-in profiles make build preparation as easy as a few clicks
Over 90+ settings available for adjustment
Adjustable shell thickness
Multiple printhead resolution, 250 µm & 400 µm
