Desktop Metal Production System P-1 from China
The Desktop Metal Production System P-1 is an industrial additive manufacturing machine that uses binder jetting technology. It deposits layers of metal powder bound by a liquid adhesive, which are then sintered to produce dense metal parts. This process of depositing metal material layer-by-layer qualifies it under tariff item 8485.10.00 for machines for additive manufacturing by metal deposit.
