Ryan Lawler gets a hand on look at Matterfab's new 3D metal printer and talks with co-founder Matthew Burris.
A metal 3D printing startup called MatterFab hopes to reduce the cost associated with metal 3D printing, with a machine that houses a high-powered laser to essentially weld metal together layer by layer.
- MatterFab's machine puts down a thin layer of metal powder onto a build plate and then uses its laser to melt the powder onto the layer beneath it.
- MatterFab's machine was built to offer up metal 3D printing at an order of magnitude lower price-point than other products that are available to manufacturers today.
