Scrap Labs | Performance Metal Printing

Scrap Labs | display metal printing

Our mission at Scrap Labs is to empower builders and creators with the most advanced metal printing technology that optimizes both price and performance.

what are we making

A radically new metal printing platform

We are engineering an LPBF system that is scalable by design, reliable under pressure and serious about cost.

No binders, no sintering, no mess

Direct metal 3D printing with lasers. Metal powder inside, metal part outside.

dense

Ultra compact. Easy to carry and fits on the workbench in any shop or laboratory space.

Performance-First Architecture

Thermal stability, laser control and motion precision engineered together.

radically economical

For less than $20k, we are creating a cost model that works for individuals, manufacturers, labs, schools, and manufacturing sectors.

Designed for reliability

Precision sensing, smart calibration, and intuitive recovery workflow.

open community license

The source is available, but you need an agreement to manufacture for sale or distribution.

why it matters

Metal printing should be an ability, not a luxury.

Scrap Labs is demolishing the barrier of entry for metal additive manufacturing, so builders and manufacturers can prototype, iterate and deploy high-performance metal parts without six-figure systems.

Our overarching vision is to help lay the technological foundation to make advanced manufacturing devices accessible anywhere on Earth and beyond, a step toward enabling humanity to prosper and become a truly multi-planetary species.

roadmap preview

From prototype to launch

We’re building aggressively with clear milestones, field feedback, and a disciplined hardware roadmap.

Provided proof of concept manufacturing with prototype printing and core stack validation.

Alpha testers joined, early partners integrated, and the system hardened.

Beta testing was enhanced with extensive field feedback and reliability validation.

Production launch completed. Initially shipping to the US.
