Desktop Metal Announces Sale of First PureSinter™ Furnace to AmPd Labs

PureSinter features a revolutionary, patent-pending machine design that delivers parts-per-billion levels of purity in a high-efficiency, airtight processing environment — ensuring a clean and reliable furnace with low operating costs

Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE: DM), a global leader in Additive Manufacturing 2.0 technologies for mass production, today announced that Houston-based AmPd Labs has placed an order for the all-new PureSinter™ Furnace - a high-purity vacuum furnace that delivers premium debind-and-sinter performance at an affordable price.


A Desktop Metal customer since 2021, AmPd Labs offers a range of AM services across the entire product lifecycle - from design and prototyping to full-scale production. In addition to Desktop Metal's laser-free binder jetting technology, AmPd Labs also offers DLP, SLS, and traditional manufacturing technologies for metal and polymer part production.

"We are thrilled to add the Pure Sinter Furnace to our fleet of Desktop Metal equipment," said Sean Harkins, COO & Co-Founder of AmPd Labs. "Pure Sinter is a technological game changer that will enable us to rapidly meet high-volume customer production demands."

"AmPd Labs is one of our standout Super Fleet customers with three or more of our laser-free metal printers, and we're delighted to see them embrace our breakthrough new furnace technology," said Ric Fulop, Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal. "PureSinter is an exemplary demonstration of the innovation for which Desktop Metal and our engineers are known. We believe this furnace will revolutionize sinter-based AM and the traditional furnace industry."

Launched in June at RAPID + TCT in Los Angeles, the PureSinter furnace reinvents furnace design from the ground up to eliminate traditional furnace challenges with an all-new, patent-pending approach. PureSinter features hot walls that prevent contamination buildup and an airtight processing environment to ensure efficient waste exit and the highest levels of purity.

PureSinter is compatible with powder metal parts 3D printed with Additive Manufacturing, such as Bound Metal Deposition® (BMD) and Binder Jetting (BJT) processes, as well as traditional Metal Injection Molding (MIM) or Press and Sinter (PM) manufacturing methods.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
