Tech-Labs’ guide, Building Workforce-Ready HVAC Training Programs, outlines a four-phase framework for creating scalable, industry-aligned HVAC programs. It covers program planning, hands-on lab development, curriculum and certification alignment, instructor support, implementation, and future growth.
The guide also examines workforce challenges such as technician shortages, retirements, and rising demand for diagnostic and troubleshooting skills. Readers will learn how schools can balance facility space, equipment, funding, and curriculum needs to prepare job-ready HVAC technicians.
Explore the complete Mastrex line of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printers, from compact systems for education, research, and prototyping to large-format machines engineered for industrial production. This catalog compares the MX100, MX120, MX150, MX220, MX300, MX400, and MX800, including build capacities, laser configurations, material compatibility, and applications.
Mastrex metal additive manufacturing systems support materials such as titanium alloys, stainless steel, aluminum, cobalt-chromium, and copper alloys. The catalog also covers available powder materials, service, installation, training, warranty, and technical support.
The Mastrex MX-100 is a compact LPBF metal 3D printer designed for education, research, prototyping, and small-batch production. Its desktop-friendly footprint makes industrial-grade metal additive manufacturing more accessible while supporting detailed parts, tight tolerances, and high-quality surface finishes.
This catalog includes the MX-100’s 4-inch-diameter by 3.15-inch build volume, 300-watt laser, supported materials, layer-height range, machine dimensions, and operating requirements. It also covers compatible metal powders and Mastrex installation, training, warranty, and support.
The Mastrex MX120 provides a larger build area than the MX100 while maintaining a compact footprint and accessible workflow. Designed for engineers, researchers, educators, and manufacturers, it supports precision metal printing for prototypes, functional components, applied research, and limited production.
The catalog details the MX120’s 4.72-inch-diameter by 4-inch build volume, 300-watt laser, supported materials, machine dimensions, and electrical requirements. It also includes information on metal powders, installation, training, warranty coverage, and ongoing technical support.
The Mastrex MX-150 combines increased build capacity with an industrial LPBF platform suitable for laboratories, workshops, and production environments. Its 5.91 x 5.91 x 4.72-inch build volume supports larger components, multiple parts per cycle, rapid design iteration, and short production runs.
This catalog outlines the MX-150’s 500-watt laser, layer-height capabilities, supported metal alloys, printing speed, dimensions, weight, and electrical requirements. It also includes material options and information about installation, training, warranty coverage, and support.
The Mastrex MX-220 is a dual-laser LPBF system engineered to increase throughput without sacrificing precision or surface quality. Two independently controlled 500-watt lasers cover the full build area, enabling faster production and consistent results across complex or densely packed builds.
The catalog provides specifications for the 8.66 x 5.51 x 7.87-inch build volume, dual-laser scanning system, layer-height capabilities, supported alloys, print speeds, dimensions, and operating requirements. It also covers material choices and available installation, training, warranty coverage, and technical support.
The Mastrex MX-300 expands dual-laser LPBF production with an 11.81 x 11.81 x 13.78-inch build volume. It is designed for larger parts, increased quantities, and complex assemblies used in aerospace, energy, industrial research, and advanced manufacturing applications.
This catalog describes the MX300’s two 500-watt lasers, full-area scanning system, supported metals, machine dimensions, weight, and electrical requirements. It also covers powder materials, installation, operator training, warranty coverage, and technical support.
The Mastrex MX-400 is a large-format LPBF metal 3D printer built for industrial production. Its 15.75 x 13.78 x 15.75-inch build volume and four-laser system provide full-area coverage for large components and high-throughput batch manufacturing.
An integrated powder-management workflow supports sieving, depowdering, recovery, and reuse while reducing manual powder handling. The catalog includes technical specifications, supported alloys, machine requirements, material information, and details about installation, training, warranty coverage, and support.
