- German-based BEGA is a global leader in fine architectural
outdoor and indoor lighting, with a focus on sustainable production
and environmentally friendly solutions
- BEGA has been optimizing lightweight aluminum lighting
components for binder jet 3D printing in partnership with Desktop
Metal since 2022
- The development partnership has been successfully 3D printing a
number of different lighting components on the X25Pro in Al6061
powder
- The BEGA parts to be featured at RAPID + TCT will be a complex
motion sensor cover and collimator housing used in a bollard tube,
a short outdoor architectural post used in landscape designs along
perimeters
- The BEGA parts will be part of a larger display of metal and
ceramic designs on display at RAPID + TCT, North America’s largest
additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing event, to be held
June 25-27 in Los Angeles
Desktop Metal (NYSE: DM), a global leader in Additive
Manufacturing 2.0 technologies for mass production, today announced
that it will showcase binder jet 3D printed aluminum lighting
components designed by BEGA, a German-based global leader in fine
architectural outdoor and indoor lighting.

Desktop Metal and BEGA are successfully
binder jet 3D printing Al6061 on the X25Pro mid-sized production
metal 3D printer. The parts shown lower left, front and back, are
complex motion sensor covers used in an outdoor lighting product.
The parts shown upper right, front and back, are a housing for a
collimator or lens used to narrow a light beam. All parts shown are
as binder jet printed and sintered, with a media blast cleaning,
and no additional post processing. (Photo: Business Wire)
The parts were produced on the X25Pro mid-sized, production
binder jet printing system with Al6061 powder.
“The Desktop Metal team continues to make incredible progress
raising the bar in binder jet 3D printing with larger and more
complex parts produced in Al6061 powder,” said Ric Fulop, Founder
and CEO of Desktop Metal. “Our process for binder jetting parts
that are capable of replacing complex, investment cast aluminum
components continues to advance rapidly, with a number of
production projects underway.”
After providing industry-first results for binder jetting
aluminum on the InnoventX in 2021, Desktop Metal has continued to
drive significant advancements for production-scale binder jetting
in aluminum. In partnership with companies such as BEGA, Desktop
Metal has now demonstrated a repeatable process for 99% dense
aluminum with corrosion, thermal conductivity, fatigue, dimensional
control, and T6 tensile properties — all of which meet or exceed
the properties of common cast aluminum alloys used by our customers
today.
The X25Pro used to produce the BEGA parts is a modified standard
commercial system, specially outfitted with an inert or controlled
atmosphere for use with reactive powders. The printer is located at
Desktop Metal headquarters in Burlington, Mass., where it is being
used for a variety of commercial partner projects. Customers
interested in co-developing aluminum parts for production binder
jet 3D printing applications are encouraged to reach out to Desktop
Metal at TeamDM.com/X25Pro_Al6061.
Benefits of Binder Jet 3D Printing
Binder Jetting is widely regarded as the fastest method of metal
3D printing for high-volume output. This technology uses a digital
file to quickly inkjet a binder into a bed of powder particles such
as metal, sand, or ceramic to create a solid part, one thin layer
at a time. When printing metals, the final bound metal part must be
sintered in a furnace to fuse the particles together into a solid
object. Ceramics, such as silicon carbide, can be sintered or
infiltrated using a variety of methods.
Binder jet 3D printing, compared to both traditional
manufacturing and other forms of 3D printing, enables manufacturers
to more affordably produce complex parts with unique benefits, such
as size and weight reductions, part consolidation, and performance
improvements.
Because of the broad material flexibility of binder jet 3D
printing, Desktop Metal employs a tiered qualification system for
production of powdered materials, identifying materials as R&D
Qualified, Customer-Qualified for specific applications, and DM
Qualified for standard use. In all, more than 30 metals and
ceramics are qualified on DM printers.
