Metal 1.0 Launches Affordable Prosumer Metal Printer
Metal 1.0 launched on Kickstarter, offering a prosumer LPBF metal 3D printer for €8,500 (~$9,754) to backers, with a campaign running until April 16. The machine prints bronze, 316L stainless steel, and Inconel 718 in a 128mm×100mm (upgradeable to 150mm) cylindrical build, uses a 60W 445nm laser and Klipper firmware, and requires nitrogen; pricing and production raise fulfillment concerns.
Scoring Rationale
Official Kickstarter hardware launch provides notable prosumer access, but limited scope and credible fulfillment risks reduce impact.
