Technical University of Munich adds metal Binder Jetting machine from Addimetal
The Technical University of Munich, Germany, has expanded its Additive Manufacturing capabilities with the installation of a new K2-2 metal Binder Jetting machine from Addimetal, headquartered in Toulouse, France.
“After many successful years working with various laser-based Powder Bed Fusion systems, we’re excited to expand our Additive Manufacturing capabilities by installing our first metal Binder Jetting machine,” stated Professor Dr-Ing Katrin Wudy, Professorship of Laser-based Additive Manufacturing at the TUM School of Engineering and Design, on LinkedIn.

Launched at Formnext in November 2024, the K2-2 can process a wide variety of metal powders and binders. It features a build box measuring 200 x 200 x 200 mm and offers high-resolution printing from 360 up to 1080 DPI.
The K2-2 also features an open system that enables the use of non-proprietary binders, giving users greater material flexibility. The machine incorporates real-time environmental control with visual sensors to optimise the workspace for maximum performance.
“This new technology opens up entirely different processing routes, materials, and application possibilities, adding a valuable dimension to our research and development work,” added Prof Wudy. “We’re thrilled to begin exploring the potential of metal Binder Jetting and look forward to the new insights and opportunities it will bring.”
