ValCUN Releases the Advanced 'Minerva' Molten Metal 3D Printer
ValCUN, a startup from Belgium that specializes in metal 3D printing, has developed a novel metal 3D printing technology called the Minerva. The company aims to revolutionize the metal 3D printing industry with its Molten Metal Deposition (MMD) technology. Unlike powder-based systems, MMD uses wire feedstock, making it a safer option for use in various environments. This approach also helps reduce the costs of feedstock, which in turn helps lower the overall costs of parts produced.
The system was created to fill a gap in the 3D printing industry for a user-friendly, deployable solution that shortens the time it takes to produce a product and minimizes post-processing costs.
“I have been following aluminum 3D printing technology for over 20 years, and with ValCUN technology, I believe for the first time that this 3D print technology can disrupt the industrial aluminum market," said Piet D'Haeyer, CEO of Pedeo.
