Desktop Metal is bringing high-speed, high-performance, 3D metal printing to the office environment.

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.”
