What Is Digital Part Materialization?
Digital part materialization is an additive manufacturing process, otherwise known as three-dimensional printing, or 3DP, which materializes an object—or mold for an object—layer by layer out of powdered material, a chemical binder and a digital file.
ExOne offers this revolutionary process through equipment sales and contract services, meeting the customer anywhere on the continuum of needs, and providing virtually unlimited design flexibility and significant time savings over traditional manufacturing methods.
