MX3D is a leading industrial company specialising in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) for large-scale, high-value metal components. Based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, MX3D develops and delivers advanced robotic metal additive manufacturing solutions for industries where quality, reliability, and scalability are critical.
Founded with a strong engineering and research background, MX3D has evolved from a technology pioneer into an established industrial manufacturer. Today, the company combines system development, proprietary software, certified production, and application engineering into a single, integrated offering. This full-stack approach enables MX3D to support customers across the entire lifecycle of metal additive manufacturing — from early feasibility and qualification to serial production and in-house system deployment.
MX3D operates one of Europe’s most advanced WAAM production facilities, with more than 15 robotic systems capable of continuous, 24/7 manufacturing. The company produces large and complex metal parts weighing up to 20,000 kg, serving demanding sectors such as energy (including defence, maritime, nuclear and oil & gas), maritime, automotive, manufacturing, and infrastructure. All production is executed with strict process control, material traceability, and qualification procedures to meet industry-specific standards and certifications.
In addition to on-demand production, MX3D designs and supplies complete WAAM systems for customers seeking to bring large-scale metal additive manufacturing in-house. These systems are delivered with MX3D’s proprietary MetalXL software, which provides full control over toolpath generation, process monitoring, and data-driven optimization. MetalXL is a core technological differentiator and is exclusively available as part of MX3D’s system offering, reinforcing a tightly integrated hardware-software ecosystem.
MX3D’s strength lies in its ability to industrialize WAAM. While many competitors focus on isolated system components or experimental applications, MX3D delivers a commercially proven, end-to-end solution that combines robotics, software, materials expertise, and certified production. This enables customers to reduce lead times, lower material waste, consolidate complex assemblies, and transition additive manufacturing from experimentation to reliable industrial use.
With a strong European base and an expanding international footprint through partners and resellers, MX3D positions itself as a benchmark for industrial WAAM. The company continues to invest in technology development, qualification, and scalable production, supporting its long-term vision of making large-scale metal additive manufacturing a mature, trusted, and economically viable production method for global industry.
