Addimetal’s K2-2 Metal Binder Jet System Features Compact Design, Large Printhead

Addimetal’s K2-2 is the first French-designed metal binder jetting machine, offering manufacturers a solution for producing complex metal parts with precision and speed. Designed with customizable printing parameters and equipped with Orion software for seamless workflow integration, the K2-2 enables the production of high-resolution, complex metal parts at a lower cost.

The company says this solution is optimized for flexibility and efficiency, ensuring that users can meet the most demanding production timelines without sacrificing quality. This method of binder jetting on a powder bed uses a binder to agglomerate metal particles, enabling the layer‑by-layer creation of complex parts with exceptional precision and unmatched efficiency.

The K2‑2 printer is an advanced, compact metal binder jetting machine, equipped with a powerful printhead, making it well suited for research, rapid product development and the production of small to medium metal parts.

“The K2-2 represents a game-changing advancement for industries like aerospace, automotive, luxury and more. Our goal is to become one of the European leaders in metal additive manufacturing,” says Mohamad Koubar, Addimetal CEO. “With the K2-2, we provide a solution that bridges the gap between lab-scale research and full-scale industrial production.”
