Xact Metal has launched the XM200G μHD metal 3D printing system and multiple new metal powders at Formnext.
The company has also provided an update on the development of the XM300G mid-sized metal printer.
According to Xact Metal, the XM200G μHD machine boasts the ability to print 5-15μm-sized powder, enabling users to achieve micro sizes and smoother surfaces. It also has a laser spot size of 25 μm, a print bed of 140 x 140 x 150 mm (with an option to extend to 290mm in the Z direction), and configurations of 100, 200 or 400W of laser power.
Xact Metal says the machine is suitable for product development and low-volume manufacture, with electronics, micro mechanics, antennas, waveguides, and medical devices touted as potential application areas. The printer is in the final stages of development and is expected to start shipping in mid-2026.
Alongside this new machine, Xact Metal has announced Sandvik’s Osprey MAR 55 tool and high-speed steel and the Equispheres NExP-1 non-reactive aluminium powder can now be used on Xact Metal machines.
“Our product development efforts continue to be strong in 2025,” said Xact Metal CEO Juan Mario Gomez, CEO of Xact Metal.
Gomez has also confirmed that development of the XM300G mid-sized metal printer is ongoing, with design features being validated with key customers. The machine is to be made available with configurations of one, two or four 500W lasers, as well as a single 1,000 W configuration. Multiple lasers can overlap across the 300 x 300 x 400 mm build volume, while the machine is supported by a removable build cylinder, a hopper dosing mechanism, and an extended life filter.
Orders are now being taken for the XM300G, with Xact Metal to commence shipping in the second half of 2026.
Xact Metal is exhibiting at Formnext from Hall 12.0, Stand C59.
