What happened?

Mastrex has introduced a six-machine metal laser powder bed fusion range, with the entry model reportedly starting around $39,000 – an unusually low price point for LPBF hardware.

Key details

  • Mastrex has introduced a six-machine LPBF portfolio.
  • The entry price is reported at roughly $39,000.
  • The company is working with Continuum Powders on material validation.
  • A key question is whether metal AM can sustain a significantly lower hardware entry cost without compromising production requirements.

Why it matters

Capital cost is one of the biggest barriers in metal AM. If new entrants can deliver genuinely usable machines at this price level, smaller engineering firms and labs could gain access to technology that was previously out of reach.

Anycubic Kobra 3 toolhead – successful firmware backup and the first steps toward a CAN-based Klipper toolboard

Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead Project – Another Milestone: Successful Firmware Backup and Preparing for a CAN-Based Toolboard Today marked another major milestone in the Anycubic Kobra 3 Toolhead project. Our objective is not to modify or preserve the original firmware. Instead, we are developing a completely custom firmware that will transform the factory controller board into a Klipper-compatible CAN Tool MCU with only minimal hardware modifications.
