IT'S LIVE: The Metal 1.0 Kickstarter Campaign is Officially Open!

Published on 17 March 2026 at 20:33

The day we have all been working toward is finally here. After years of engineering, prototyping, and successful beta testing across the EU, the Metal 1.0 is officially live on Kickstarter!

Our mission from day one has been to bring true industrial Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) out of the million-dollar factory and onto the engineer's workshop. No debinding, no sintering ovens, and no metal-infused plastics—just a high-power diode laser melting real metal powder safely on your desktop.

Today, that becomes a reality.

To our incredible community of makers, engineers, and early supporters: thank you. Your feedback and encouragement have shaped the Metal 1.0 into the machine it is today.

Want to secure your machine? Head over to the Kickstarter page right now. We have strictly limited Super Early Bird and Early Bird tiers available for our first backers, and they will go fast.

If you believe in what we are building, please take a moment to share the campaign link with your colleagues, engineering forums, and anyone who needs real metal 3D printing capabilities in their workshop.

Let’s revolutionize desktop manufacturing together.
