Crowds convened at the Desktop Metal booth during the 2017 edition of RAPID + TCT, held last month in Pittsburgh. The promise of a revolution in 3D printing with metal was the reason why.

Described as "the first office-friendly metal 3D printing system for rapid prototyping," DM Studio is a complete platform, including both a printer and microwave-enhanced sintering furnace that, together, deliver complex geometries of metal 3D printed parts in an engineer's office or on the shop floor.
