Bound Metal Deposition (BMD)

 Desktop Metal –  Desktop Metal's Studio System™ 2  is a safe, office-friendly metal 3D printing technology that extrudes bound metal rods (metal + polymer) to create parts, which are then debound and sintered into dense metal components—ideal for prototyping and low-volume production without loose powders or lasers.
