Engineered as an entry-level platform with professional-grade performance, the Carmel Pro delivers the exceptional detail, density, and surface quality that Xjet is known for, while removing the complexity and cost barriers traditionally associated with high-end additive manufacturing systems. Based on Xjet’s proprietary, user-friendly, powderless technology, it enables direct jetting of metal and ceramic inks with a separate soluble support material, ensuring both precision and versatility. With a 60-70 percent lower initial investment compared to Xjet’s existing Carmel systems, the new platform opens the door for organizations seeking to adopt metal and ceramic 3D printing for high-value end-use parts production.

“The Carmel Pro represents a significant milestone in democratizing access to industrial, powderless and safe metal and ceramic additive manufacturing,” says Guy Zimmerman, CEO of Xjet. “By delivering the same precision and material capabilities of our larger systems in a compact, cost-efficient format, we’re enabling a new generation of manufacturers, designers, and researchers to leverage the unique advantages of Nano Particle Jetting technology.”

The Carmel Pro features multi-material printing capability with four material channels. This is a capability of Xjet’s direct material jetting technology, which enables unparalleled operational flexibility and unlocks possibilities for the most sophisticated application development yet. The system is fully compatible with Xjet’s complete portfolio of metal and ceramic inks, including the company’s unique precious metals capability, with support for future expansion into high-value materials and specialized applications.

The Carmel Pro introduces smart automation features designed for ease of use and minimal operator intervention. Single-button job starts with automated pre-checks, guided setup wizards, and self-monitoring systems make the platform ideal for non-expert users and shift operators. The system requires less than 20-minute-turnarounds between jobs, with rapid cleaning and setup processes that minimize downtime. This, combined with Xjet’s full ink recirculation system, not only makes production faster and more convenient, but also guarantees maximum material usage for efficient production, bringing manufacturing costs further down.
