Fusion factory XS metallic 3D printing system

XERION BERLIN LABORATORIES GmbH have announced that their Fusion Factory
XS metal 3D printing, debinding and sintering system has been successfully commissioned and is now operational at the US Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWC-CD) in West Bethesda, Maryland

“We are extremely pleased to have a fully operational Fusion Factory XS, our most compact industrial metal 3D printing, debinding and sintering system, at the NSWC-CD,” said
XERION´s chief executive officer Marcus Ortloff.

The order, valued at $300,000, was facilitated directly to XERION from the US Navy
through the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering’s (OUSD(RE))
Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) Program, with payments structured in stages corresponded to manufacture, delivery and installation milestones.

The FCT Program project is a joint effort with the US Army Futures Command’s Combat
Capabilities Development Command’s Armaments Center (AFC-DEVCOM AC), United States Marine Corps (USMC), and US Navy.

The effectiveness of the US ‘Scale up’ strategy, is enabling XERION to advance the establishment of systems in the US. “The successful commissioning of this system is a clear demonstration of the effectiveness of our US ‘Scale-up’ strategy.”

This initiative from XERION aims to accelerate the adoption of XERION’s advanced additive
manufacturing technologies across various sectors, including US defense, federal, and
corporate domains.

“The US Department of Defense is working to rapidly adopt advanced manufacturing technologies to establish sovereign defense supply chains that are resilient, competitive, and
sustainable. Our Fusion Factory XS stands alone as a sinter-based AM system capable of
operation on an Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB), something which is crucial for the USMC,
US Army, and US Navy.” said Ortloff.

XERION has a particular focus on bolstering the US Department of Defense industrial base
and believe they will be able to pursue further opportunities typically limited to companies
with US-based operations, given the sensitive nature of such projects.
“The US Navy’s decision to install a XERION XS system at their facilities demonstrates their
confidence in XERION´s advanced manufacturing technology and its ability to support the
US Navy industrial base.”
