Desktop Metal built its systems around two patented printing approaches, single-pass jetting and bound-metal deposition, which it introduced to reduce the cost and complexity of metal additive manufacturing. These methods allow metal parts to be printed and sintered without the lasers and powders used in conventional powder-bed systems.
The company also positioned itself early in the binder-jetting segment for machine shops, bringing desktop-scale metal printing into environments that previously lacked additive capability.

Desktop Metal prices the Shop System around configurations aimed at mid-volume production, positioning binder-jetting metal printing as an affordable step for machine shops adding additive capability. The system is sold as a configurable package rather than a single fixed-configuration printer.
The Studio System carries a separate position for prototyping buyers, targeting engineers and small teams with an office-friendly metal printing workflow priced below production-scale systems.

Desktop Metal offers additive manufacturing systems organized around four product families: the Shop System, the Studio System, the X-Series, and the PureSinter Furnace. These families cover metal and carbon fiber 3D printing workflows, from office-friendly prototyping through binder-jetting production in machine shops.
Alongside its printing systems, the company supplies printing materials and accompanying software that support the full process from part design through sintered end-use components.
