Velo3D Ships Sapphire XC

Velo3D announced its first SapphireXC delivery, the company’s newest and largest metal 3D printer that delivers faster production and larger parts. It is a scale-up version of the Sapphire Printer, utilizing the same Flow print preparation software, the same Assure quality control software, and the same Intelligent Fusion manufacturing process.

Sapphire XC is built to enable a transition of parts that were developed and qualified on Sapphireto the larger machine. This is said to reduce the cost of producing parts by up to 75%. It allows the printing of parts up to 400% larger in volume. The aerospace company receiving the new 3D printer will use it to scale up production.
