Mastrex MX-150 Metal 3D Printer
MX-150
Mid-Size LPBF Metal 3D Printing for Advanced Training
The Mastrex MX-150 is a mid-size Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printer for advanced manufacturing education, applied research, prototyping, and small-batch production. Its 5.91 × 5.91 × 4.72-inch build volume and 500 W laser give colleges, universities, workforce-development organizations, and industrial training programs greater capacity for larger parts and multi-part builds.
Learners can practice an end-to-end workflow that includes build preparation, machine operation, powder recovery, part removal, post-processing, inspection, and process documentation. Tech-Labs provides the MX-150 as a training solution manufactured by Mastrex.
Mid-Size LPBF Platform
Move beyond compact introductory systems with additional build capacity for advanced projects, applied research, and short production runs.
Expanded Project Flexibility
Produce larger components or arrange multiple parts within a rectangular build area for prototyping and batch-planning exercises.
Advanced Process Learning
Explore how laser power, layer settings, build layout, material selection, and post-processing influence metal additive results.
Advance metal additive manufacturing instruction with greater build capacity and a 500 W LPBF platform.
Hands-On Metal Additive Manufacturing Skills
When supported by the program's curriculum and operating procedures, the MX-150 can help learners develop skills in:
- Explaining the LPBF process and its role in metal additive manufacturing
- Preparing and reviewing metal additive build jobs
- Planning larger parts and multi-part layouts within a rectangular build area
- Configuring and operating a 500 W LPBF printer through an integrated touchscreen
- Relating layer height, beam diameter, build rate, and scan speed to production goals
- Applying design-for-additive-manufacturing principles to functional metal parts
- Planning powder recovery, part removal, heat treatment, and other post-processing steps
- Inspecting surface finish, dimensional results, and build consistency
- Documenting process settings and comparing build outcomes
- Additive manufacturing
- Advanced manufacturing
- Mechanical and manufacturing engineering technology
- Materials science and metallurgy
- CAD and design for additive manufacturing
- Aerospace and automotive technology
- Medical-device and dental manufacturing concepts
- Product development and rapid prototyping
- Applied research and capstone projects
- Small-batch and production-planning instruction
- Workforce upskilling and industrial training
Expanded Build Volume
A 5.91 × 5.91 × 4.72-inch build volume supports larger parts, additional components, and more advanced build-planning exercises.
500 W Laser
The 500 W laser expands process capability for advanced prototyping, research, and small-batch metal additive projects.
0.0008–0.0047 in. Layer Range
Instructors can explore how layer thickness affects surface finish, detail, build time, and productivity.
Material Flexibility
Mastrex lists titanium alloy, stainless steel, aluminum, cobalt-chromium alloy, copper alloy, and additional compatible materials.
Integrated Touchscreen Computer
A centralized interface supports machine control, workflow monitoring, instructor demonstrations, and supervised learner operation.
Industrial Installation
The system's size, weight, and 208–480 V electrical requirement support instruction in an industrial lab, workshop, or production environment planned for the equipment.
- Built-in computer with touchscreen
- Three build plates
- Tool set
- Transport
- Professional on-site installation and training
- Two-year warranty
Confirm the final configuration, site requirements, electrical service, service scope, and included items with Tech-Labs before installation.
- Cleaning chamber: A compact chamber for removing excess powder from printed parts using compressed air.
- HT150 heat-treat oven: Supports post-build heat treatment for stress relief and application-specific material requirements.
- Band saw: Supports removal of printed parts from the build plate.
- Powder-sieving machine: Supports powder recovery and reuse within an approved material-handling workflow.
- Nitrogen generator: Provides an on-site nitrogen source for supported printing workflows.
- Powder-collection vacuum: Supports routine printer cleanup and powder-management procedures using a built-in filter and stainless-steel collection container.
Mastrex identifies professional on-site installation and hands-on training as included. Its product page does not identify a packaged academic curriculum, student workbooks, assessments, eLearning library, LMS integration, or credential alignment.
Programs should plan to integrate the MX-150 into their own additive-manufacturing curriculum or confirm additional instructional resources with Tech-Labs during project planning.
The MX-150 combines a mid-size rectangular build volume with a 500 W laser for advanced education, research, prototyping, and small-batch applications.
