The MPRINT + 3D printer is one module in the One Click Metal BOLDseries metal AM system.

The goal of German startup One Click Metal is to make metal 3D printing accessible to more manufacturers. The company, started and spun off by TRUMPF several years ago then acquired by machine tool builder INDEX in 2021, offers an LPBF (laser powder bed fusion) printing system.

“Our main focus is getting the technology out there and enabling as many people as possible, because [metal printing] is basically limited to aerospace, medical, and other industries where money basically doesn’t matter,” said the startup’s co-founder, Björn Ullmann.

One Click attempts to simplify customers’ entry into metal 3D printing by offering them a four-module package called BOLDseries:

One Click Metal supplies the four middle modules of a metal 3D printing process chain.

The Additive Report focuses on the use of additive manufacturing technology in the real world of manufacturing. Today’s manufacturers are using 3D printing technology to create tools and fixtures, and some are even using AM for high-volume production work. Their stories will be covered here.
