In Partnership with BEGA, Desktop Metal to Showcase Aluminum Lighting Components Binder Jet 3D Printed on the X25Pro at RAPID + TCT
- 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
since 2022Desktop Metal - 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 inLos Angeles

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
After providing industry-first results for binder jetting aluminum on the InnoventX in 2021,
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
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,
