ExOne M-Flex
ExOne (NASDAQ: XONE) has been awarded an order for the new M-Flex platform, which is expected to be shipped to L'Universite du Quebec in the third quarter of 2013.
The global provider of 3D printing machines and products to industrial customers announced the news yesterday (April 1st).
The M-Flex provides a larger output capacity than old models with speeds that are as much as ten times faster than previous incarnations. As a result, total volumetric output per unit time is significantly greater and provides "compelling economics" for replacing traditional hardware for parts manufacturers and OEMs. A highly-flexible, user-friendly machine can print industrial-grade ceramics and metals and is ideally suited for producing complex geometry with high accuracy.
Since the machine was debuted at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September of last year, ExOne has received strong global interest in the capabilities of the M-Flex indusrtial 3D printing machine.
President and Chief Operating Officer David Burns stated: "Our new M-Flex brings a higher level of productivity for a manufacturer of metal and ceramic parts using our unique 3D printing process.
"The early acceptance of this dynamic new machine is extremely encouraging for us and we expect customer interest to translate quickly into orders."
