Zaxe, Türkiye's leading company in additive manufacturing, is achieving a groundbreaking R&D success that will elevate domestic production to a new level. The company announced the successful completion of the development processes for "Metal 3D Printing" technology, which is critically important for industrial use. With this move, the production of metal parts in many sectors, from the defense industry to the automotive industry, becomes possible with domestically produced printers.
As 3D printing technologies move from hobby use to the heart of industrial production, Turkish engineering is at the forefront of this race. Zaxe, known for its 3D printing solutions since 2015, is taking its plastic polymer printing capabilities to the next level: metal processing. The company announces that its new generation printers and systems equipped with special nozzle technologies will allow the production of final metal parts using metal filament.
R&D Completed: Metal Printing Capability on the Table
Zaxe's newly announced technology reduces prototyping and low-volume production processes, which traditional casting or machining methods take months, to just hours.
- Metal Filament Technology: The newly developed models are capable of processing special filaments containing metal powder.
- Backward Compatibility: Zaxe aims not only to sell new devices but also to retain its existing users. Work is underway to integrate the newly developed extruder heads into existing Zaxe 3D printers. This will allow businesses with a Zaxe printer to gain metal printing capabilities with a simple upgrade.
"Domestic Shield" in the Supply Chain“
The pandemic and global crises have shown the world just how fragile supply chains are. Waiting for a tiny metal part that causes a factory to shut down to arrive from abroad is no longer sustainable.
Zaxe's move provides strategic security for Türkiye's "Production Economy".
- Ending External Dependence: Complex metal parts needed in critical sectors such as defense and aerospace can now be printed in Türkiye using domestic printers, instead of being ordered from abroad.
- Rapid Prototyping: R&D centers will be able to test the metal parts they design immediately, which will significantly speed up product development processes.
Zaxe: It Produces Ecosystems, Not Just Devices
Founded in Türkiye in 2015, Zaxe distinguishes itself from its competitors with its "End-to-End Solution" approach. The company is more than just a hardware manufacturer; Zaxe Desktop With its software, self-developed filaments, and accessible technical support team, it offers a manufacturing ecosystem.
Having gained trust in the market with models such as X1, X1+, Z1 and Z1+, the brand is now bringing its success in ease of use and print reliability to the metal industry.
