Xspee3D printer from Spee3D produces metal parts anywhere

Spee3D has unveiled its Xspee3D printer, a containerized, ruggedized, and deployable cold-spray metal 3D printer that provides all of the necessary functions to print metal parts from anywhere in minutes, the company reports.

Designed based on extensive field work and collaboration with the Australian Army, the machine is transportable as a standard shipping container with the printer and auxiliary equipment in one box. The printer requires only a connection to electrical power, and once it is live, it can begin fabricating parts immediately.

According to the manufacturer, the printer is 1,000 times faster than other additive manufacturing options and can print one or multiple parts simultaneously from more than 12 metal alloys, including copper, stainless steel, titanium, high-strength aluminum, and nickel-based carbides.
