Markforged Metal X Industrial Metal 3D Printer from Germany
Markforged Metal X uses bound metal deposition (BMD), extruding metal powder bound in polymer filament layer-by-layer, followed by sintering. Though hybrid, its primary metal deposit mechanism qualifies it under HTS 8485.10.0100 for additive manufacturing by metal deposit.
