Metal additive manufacturing company Holo has announced that its proprietary additive manufacturing platform 3D-prints small parts from copper, stainless steel, and any other alloy available as a powder that can be sintered.

According to the company, its high-throughput PureForm MicroAM can print parts with features smaller than 50 μm, facilitating its use for applications ranging from electrical components to jewelry to medical and dental devices.

Holo operates its PureForm MicroAM systems at the company’s 20,000-sq.-ft. production near San Francisco Bay area. It reportedly print tens of thousands of parts monthly for customers.
