The updates reflect ExOne Global Holdings continued commitment to reducing friction for U.S. industrial operators and strengthening its domestic footprint under new ownership.

DETROIT – April 15, 2026 – ExOne Global Holdings (“ExOne Global” or the “Company”) announced a series of customer-focused updates, including the start of U.S. manufacturing of its Spectra Mono-Z printhead in the Detroit area, the establishment of a local parts inventory in Detroit, a new transparent annual price list, a refreshed maintenance program, and free 24/7 live phone support for all S-Max customers. Together, these updates directly address the lead-time, support, and total-cost-of-ownership priorities most commonly raised by binder jet operators across U.S. industrial markets.

ExOne Global Holdings has begun manufacturing its Spectra Mono-Z printheads at its facility in Canton, Michigan, marking the first step in a longer-term program to bring additional major subsystems into U.S. production. The move reflects the company’s commitment to supply chain resilience and positions the company to serve defense, aerospace, automotive, energy, and foundry customers with reduced dependence on international component sourcing. Customers currently operating legacy Polaris printhead systems will continue to receive full support, with a clear migration path available.

Alongside domestic printhead production, the Spring 2026 updates include:

• Detroit-based parts inventory. ExOne Global Holdings is building a local parts inventory in the Detroit area sized to current customer demand and designed to scale as the installed base grows, meaningfully reducing lead times for spare parts and consumables for U.S. operators.
• Annual published price list. A new transparent, annually refreshed price list that is inclusive of applicable tariffs and freight to Detroit will give customers and procurement teams predictability in total cost of ownership, replacing variable pricing with a consistent, published schedule.
• Refreshed three-tier maintenance program. The updated program spans three tiers (Essentials, Recommended, and Enterprise) designed to serve single-machine shops through large fleet operators. The Recommended tier has been repriced lower compared to the prior year, and custom pricing is available for customers operating fleets.
• Free 24/7 live phone support. Free 24/7 phone support is now live for all ExOne Global customers, with a guaranteed live-human answer around the clock. Free remote support has been in place for all customers since ExOne’s change of ownership in 2025.

“These updates are a direct response to recent customer feedback around domestic supply, expedited parts access, predictable pricing, and support they can count on,” said Mike Dougherty, Managing Director of Americas, ExOne Global Holdings. “Initiating printhead production in Detroit is the first step in our broader U.S. manufacturing buildout, and it reflects the long-term commitment we’re making to our customers and to American industrial infrastructure.”

voxeljet GmbH, a leading provider of high-speed, large-format 3D printers and on-demand parts services, has launched a new project for engineering a 3D printing system of unprecedented scale. The new machine – called VX7000 – is tailored to the requirements of an international  industrial partner and will feature a build volume of approximately 7,000 x 7,000 x 1,000 mm³.

With the VX7000, voxeljet introduces the next evolutionary stage of large-format binder jet 3D printing systems at a customer site – engineered for industrial-scale operation and high-volume production environments.
Building on the proven VX4000, the industry’s long-standing reference model, the VX7000 sets new standards in precision, scalability, and efficiency for printed sand, ceramics and other suitable materials.

Revolutionary Machine Concept

At the core of the VX7000 lies a kind of reversed build concept: instead of a descending build platform, the foundation of the printing process remains completely stationary. The recoater and printhead units move upwards layer by layer along a precisely guided Z-axis.
This design enables an extra-large build volume of up to 7 × 7 × 1 meters, handling over 60 tons of sand with uncompromising precision and surface quality.

On request, both the build length and height can be adapted to specific customer needs without redesigning the whole system.
Each VX7000 allows partially automated job-by-job build area customization, saving time, material, and energy.

High-Performance Printing System

The VX7000 is equipped as standard with four printheads, each approximately 1 meter wide and featuring 7,168 nozzles. This configuration achieves layer times below 100 seconds.
Depending on customer requirements, the system can be expanded with additional printheads to boost throughput or reduced to lower initial investment costs.
A central, pressurized, large-diameter binder supply line ensures fast and uniform filling of all printheads, contributing to consistent part quality and process stability.

Intelligent Material Logistics

Sand supply is managed through a central feed point, easily connectable to customer-side silos.
An industrial mixer blends the base sand with activator and reclaimed sand before it is gently and dust-free distributed via a cartesian robotic system into several buffer silos.
These silos continuously feed the recoater -fully independent from the printing process – with perfectly conditioned sand, guaranteeing uniform layer quality throughout the entire build process.

Precision Engineering for Maximum Accuracy

The VX7000 incorporates several design innovations that maximize dimensional accuracy:

• A cast-concrete build platform mounted on rails – offering superior rigidity and minimal thermal expansion. The use of rails enables the platform to be moved smoothly out of the system into an unpacking position, regardless of the quality of the ground and despite a high load of 60 tons or more.
• Ultra-stiff tubular frame constructions for both the printhead and recoater bridges, featuring fixed and floating bearings to compensate for temperature-induced expansion.
• Form-fit direct drives that maintain high stiffness and eliminate the need for costly and sensitive linear encoders.

A Z-axis system composed of eight vertical column drives – four per side – each using ball screw spindles and electronically synchronized servo drives. The massive cast-iron column bases rest on adjustable feet for independent alignment and simplified installation.

Efficiency Through Smart Cleaning Systems

To minimize binder consumption and reduce operating costs, the VX7000 integrates a multi-stage printhead cleaning system.
Binder expelled during purge routines can be collected and reintroduced into the system.
Additionally, a modular recoater cleaning station ensures rapid maintenance cycles; even if one module fails, the printer continues operation with a reduced build area – ensuring maximum uptime.

Next-Generation Recoater Technology

As with most voxeljet systems, the VX7000 uses an advanced vibrating blade recoater.
This new generation consists of multiple independently driven subunits, electronically synchronized to act as a single cohesive unit.
The result: no harmful vibration effects, perfectly even powder layers, superior print quality at industrial speed and a versatile job width by switching recoater subunits on and off.

The VX7000 defines a new era in industrial binder jet 3D printing:
more precise, modular, and resource-efficient – ready to take large-format additive manufacturing to the next dimension.
