3D MakerJet Inc. R&D Prototypes Industry's First Powderless Wire-Feed Metal 3D Printer

After a year and a half in research and development, functioning prototypes using metal alloy filaments, including copper, have been reviewed and have successfully met industry standards. Concentrating on both laser and extruder 3D printers, 3D MakerJet is committed to metal development.

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3D MakerJet Inc. (OTC: MRJT), partnered with award-winning Chinese developer ZBOT/Guangzhou DNSPOWER Design Co., is forging the way for an industry first—powderless wire-feed additive manufacturing.


After a year and a half in research and development, functioning prototypes using metal alloy filaments, including copper, have been reviewed and have successfully met industry standards. Concentrating on both laser and extruder 3D printers, 3D MakerJet is committed to metal development.

According to Research and Markets, the market size of metal 3D printing is expected to grow to $2.24 billion by the year 2020 at double digit CAGR.

3D MakerJet realizes the benefits advances in metal 3D technology could have at an industrial level, including those of mobile mounted printers.

"On site, on the job, these printers have the potential to eliminate the high prices and long lead times of back-ordered, hard-to-source and even obsolete parts. The market for metal printing is continuing to grow and 3D MakerJet is poised to introduce a true breakthrough," said John Crippen, 3D MakerJet President.

The Company intends to file a patent in the U.S.

Simultaneously, 3D MakerJet is also working on a line of medical grade bioprinters, as well their continued dedication to perfect industrial materials including polypropylene, resins and waxes.

Using AI to Collect & Leverage Data

Data is the foundation of Industry 4.0. While skilled workers will always be essential, data is reshaping the manufacturing landscape, enabling automation of repetitive tasks, empowering smarter decision-making with AI assistance, and reducing defects and downtime. This shift allows small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) to compete more effectively on quality, speed, and cost. While AI and machine learning systems typically require around two years to collect enough data to reach their full potential, manufacturers can start seeing benefits almost immediately with basic analysis tools and dashboards. Our MEP National NetworkTM expert explains how in this Manufacturing Tomorrow article.
