Mastrex MX-100 Metal 3D Printer
Mastrex MX-100 Metal 3D Printer
The Mastrex MX-100 is a compact Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printer for education, applied research, prototyping, and small-batch production. Its 3.94-inch-diameter by 3.15-inch build volume gives colleges, universities, workforce-development organizations, and advanced manufacturing programs a practical platform for teaching metal additive manufacturing.
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-100 as a training solution manufactured by Mastrex.
Compact LPBF Platform
Teach an industrial metal additive process in labs where space and utility requirements may limit larger production systems.
Design-to-Part Learning
Connect build orientation, supports, layer settings, material selection, and post-processing with finished metal parts.
Multiple Training Levels
Support foundational instruction, advanced projects, materials research, capstones, and workforce upskilling.
Bring industrial metal additive manufacturing into the classroom with a compact Laser Powder Bed Fusion system.
Hands-On Metal Additive Manufacturing Skills
When supported by the program's curriculum and operating procedures, the MX-100 can help learners develop skills in:
- Explaining the LPBF process and its role in metal additive manufacturing
- Preparing and reviewing metal additive build jobs
- Configuring and operating an 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 small 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
Programs and Applications

Compact System
Machine dimensions of 22.05 × 22.05 × 31.50 inches make the MX-100 suitable for labs, research spaces, and training environments with limited room.
300 W Laser
The 300 W laser supports high-performance metal printing within the system's compact build envelope.
0.0008–0.0024 in. Layer Range
Instructors can explore the relationship among resolution, surface finish, and build time.
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.
- 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, 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.
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-100 into their own additive-manufacturing curriculum or confirm additional instructional resources with Tech-Labs during project planning.
The MX-100 combines a compact footprint and 120 V operation with a 300 W laser and support for multiple metal-alloy families.
More Information
Product specifications and configuration details should be confirmed with Tech-Labs. Learners should follow institution-approved procedures for metal powder handling, equipment operation, personal protective equipment, housekeeping, and emergency response.
