ExOne has introduced the S-Print Pro™, a compact industrial sand 3D printer designed to make binder jetting technology more accessible and affordable for foundries, pattern makers, and print service providers worldwide. The new system combines the proven performance of ExOne’s S-Max® platform with a smaller footprint and lower operating costs, helping smaller manufacturers adopt advanced additive manufacturing technologies.
Designed to operate within less than 12 square meters of floor space, the S-Print Pro targets small and mid-sized foundries involved in low-volume casting, contract manufacturing, spare-part production, custom components, and niche alloy applications. The machine delivers the same level of accuracy and repeatability associated with ExOne’s premium S-Max® Pro platform while significantly reducing the cost barrier for industrial sand 3D printing.
The new system incorporates ExOne’s latest CoreBoost™ printhead technology, offering 400 dpi resolution for enhanced print quality. It also features StepX™ in-situ surface smoothing, which minimizes the stair-stepping effect commonly seen in additive manufacturing. User-replaceable printhead modules, simplified maintenance procedures, and a two-canister change system are designed to reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency.
The S-Print Pro supports furan binder with silica sand and can also process optional materials such as CeraBeads and silicon carbide. It offers a build volume of 1,200 × 750 × 500 mm and can complete a full job box within a single shift, making it suitable for production-focused foundry operations.
According to ExOne, the launch addresses a long-standing industry challenge by bringing industrial-grade binder jetting technology within reach of smaller foundries that often operate with limited automation and tighter budgets. The company believes the new platform will help accelerate digital transformation across the global metal casting industry.
Deliveries of the S-Print Pro are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026, initially through selected beta partners and early reservation holders. The launch follows the integration of ExOne and voxeljet technologies, reflecting the company’s strategy to expand access to industrial additive manufacturing solutions worldwide.
