Founded by an experienced team that includes MIT professors, serial entrepreneurs, and veterans of CAD software and robotics companies, Desktop Metal seeks to build office-friendly 3D printers that can inexpensively produce parts from a range of high-performance metal alloys. “Metal 3D printing has been out of the reach of most companies because it’s very expensive and slow,” says founder Ric Fulop. “We’re developing a system that’s fast and more accessible.”
