MX3D :: Robotic Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)

MX3D is a Dutch company founded in 2014 that has established itself as a pioneer in robotic Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). The firm develops and delivers turnkey industrial systems for large-scale metal 3D printing using standard industrial robots. MX3D’s technology enables the on-demand production of high-quality, certified metal components weighing up to 20,000 kg, targeting sectors where traditional manufacturing methods are costly or time-consuming.

The company’s primary products are the M – Metal AM Systems, including the M1 and larger MX platforms. These are complete robotic WAAM solutions that combine a high-deposition welding-based process with a multi-axis industrial robot arm. The systems are designed for in-house manufacturing of medium-to-large structural parts in materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and nickel alloys. Central to these platforms is MX3D’s proprietary MetalXL software, which provides advanced path planning, real-time process monitoring, and closed-loop control to ensure consistent layer quality and dimensional accuracy.

MX3D’s robotic solutions are already deployed across demanding industries including energy, maritime, defense, oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, automotive, and nuclear. The company also operates its own certified production facility, offering on-demand qualified parts alongside system sales. All systems are engineered to meet strict industry certification standards and support hybrid workflows that combine additive manufacturing with machining.
