Global additive manufacturing company SPEE3D introduced its groundbreaking large-format metal 3D printer, TitanSPEE3D, at the Large Scale Additive Action Team Meeting (LSAAT) recently held at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts. TitanSPEE3D will bring a new era of metal component production, offering high design freedom and rapid production in just days. This innovative printer will have the ability to create large metal parts that would typically require casting — a process that can stretch over months.

TitanSPEE3D uses SPEE3D's proprietary Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) technology, whichSource: SPEE3D allows for rapid and low-cost metal printing. The printer will have an extremely large build volume of 2.4 m diameter x 1 m tall, with a printed part maximum weight of 2,000 kg. TitanSPEE3D was designed to work with various metals, including 6061 aluminum, aluminum bronze and 316 stainless steel. The printer has a 4.3 m x 4.3 m floor area footprint and is 3.3m tall at its highest point, weighing approximately 5 metric tons.

"SPEE3D revolutionized large-scale metal 3D printing when we launched our first printer utilizing our unique CSAM technology and have elevated this success through continual expansion of our 3D printing technologies," said Paul Maloney, chief revenue officer at SPEE3D. "The TitanSPEE3D will be a game changer for industries that rely on casting for very large parts, including defense, heavy industry, and others, to have the ability to print quickly, sustainably and at a competitive cost. We’re thrilled to preview this technology at LSAAT."

TitanSPEE3D will be available to a limited number of beta customers in 2024, with the commercial release slated for 2025.
