October 2023- A prominent supplier in Additive Manufacturing 2.0 technologies for bulk manufacturing of metal, health products, polymer, and ceramic, Desktop Metal, Inc., on October 20th, introduced the ETEC Pro XL — a superior polymer DLP printer debuting on the market at less than half the price as its forerunner. Ric Fulop said in a statement that the company's ETEC polymer brand has been in a prominent position for 20+ years in high-quality DLP printing, and the ETC Pro XL carries this legacy ahead at an affordable new price point while offering vital user upgrades. E further added that DLP continues to be a greater polymer 3D printing technology for precision, surface finish, and speed, due to which they have more than 300 Super Fleet customers across the globe with more than three systems operating around-the-clock manufacturing with their machines. That involves producers of consumer electronics, medical devices, industrial goods, jewelry, and toys. Their mean client fleet size is six printers, but it is not unusual for their clients to have fleets of more than 20 printers. The platform on which the ETEC Pro XL is based, mainly called the Perfactory and more lately called the P4K, has been a major driver of these Super Fleets. This system is also compatible with third-party resins from trusted manufacturers such as Henkel Loctite (IND3843 and IND405™), Evonik (INFINAM ST 6100), and BASF (Ultracur3D® RG 3280).
