ExOne’s latest industrial sand 3D printer is the company’s first major product since the voxeljet merger. Named S-Print Pro™, the compact industrial sand 3D printer is designed for small and mid-sized foundries, pattern makers and print service providers.
It is positioned as ExOne’s most affordable entry into industrial sand binder jetting to date. With this positioning, we can’t help but think that the machine manufacturer is following a trend observed already last year at Formnext: the rise of entry-level machines to stay relevant and help AM users to leverage the technology in a more and more crowded place.
What are its key specifications?
The S-Print Pro™ is built to run in under 12 m² of floor space. It pairs the accuracy and repeatability of ExOne’s established S-Max® platform with the lower acquisition and operating costs that smaller shops require. The system offers a build volume of 1,200 × 750 × 500 mm and a new CoreBoost™ printhead generation at 400 dpi resolution, with an optional StepX™ in-situ surface-smoothing feature that reduces the stair-stepping effect during printing.
It processes furan binder with silica sand, with CeraBeads or silicon carbide as options, and can complete a full job box in less than one shift. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026, starting with selected beta partners and the earliest reserved production slots.
“The S-Print Pro is the product foundries have been asking us for: quality industrial sand printing in a system that’s affordable to acquire, install, and run. Since the ExOne and voxeljet merger, our teams have been focused on combining the best engineering, application knowledge, and customer insight to solve this real production challenge. This launch reflects that work and our commitment to making industrial binder jetting more accessible to foundries worldwide,” said Eric Bader, CEO, ExOne Global Holdings.
“Most of the world’s foundries are small operations, many with fewer than 100 employees. They are the backbone of the manufacturing industry, yet industrial binder jetting has rarely been built for their scale or budget. We aim to close that gap with the new S-Print Pro,” added Aldo Randazzo, Director Application Management & ODP Administration, ExOne.
Whether the S-Print Pro can convert that under-served base into adopters will be the real test, particularly while deliveries remain in a beta and reservation phase. But as a first move under the new structure, it sends a clear signal about where the consolidated ExOne intends to grow.
