EU Expansion
To support its international expansion plans in Europe, Desktop Metal has developed strategic partnerships with authorized Desktop Metal international resellers to begin pre-selling its Studio System throughout Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, France and Spain. Desktop Metal has partnered with 16 resellers throughout the EU, including LaserLines and Tritech 3D, as well as two of Stratasys’ leading European premier partners, Alphacam and CADvision. Availability of the Studio System will vary by country. Interested buyers should visit www.desktopmetal.com/international for the complete list of EU resellers and country-specific information.
“We are pleased to partner with Desktop Metal and together grow the exciting potential for metal additive manufacturing applications,” said Michael Junghanss, Managing Partner of Alphacam. “In the GSC/DACH region which we serve for Stratasys for the last 23 years, metal manufacturing has become a very important part of the industry. With the coming solutions, we are able to lead the change in manufacturing in metal with additive technologies.”
“Tri-tech 3D is delighted to become a UK Platinum reseller for Desktop Metal,” said Adrian Painter, Group Director. “We’ve considered adding metal into our portfolio of Stratasys FDM and Polyjet solutions for some time now, but haven’t had confidence in the right product to fit the demands of our customers.

About the Studio System
The Studio System, which debuted in May 2017, is the first office-friendly metal 3D printing system for rapid prototyping and is 10 times less expensive than existing technology today. The Studio System is a complete platform, including a printer, a debinder, and a sintering furnace that, together, deliver complex and even impossible geometries of metal 3D printed parts right in an engineer’s office or on the shop floor. To manufacture metal 3D printed parts at scale, Desktop Metal also debuted the only 3D printing system for mass production of high resolution metal parts today, the Production System.
