Morris Group’s distributor network to sell Desktop Metal’s Studio System

Morris Group, Inc. of Windsor, Conn., one of the largest CNC machine tool distribution networks in North America, has been selected by Desktop Metal of Burlington, Massachusetts as a top tier, Diamond Partner supplier of its metal 3D printing systems. Morris Group will distribute the printer in 30 states extending from Maine to Florida to the Dakotas.

Pictured (left to right) are Ric Fulop, CEO and co-founder of Desktop Metal and Brad Morris, President and CEO of Morris Group, Inc. “We are very pleased to represent Desktop Metal and excited to introduce this groundbreaking 3D printing technology to metal cutting manufacturers in our distribution area,” states Brad Morris, President and CEO of Morris Group. “Our organization brings more than seventy-five years of manufacturing experience, knowledge and customer support to the table.”

The Studio System, which debuted in May, is an office-friendly metal 3D printing system for rapid prototyping. It is a complete platform, including a printer, a debinder and a sintering furnace. It requires no hazardous powders, lasers or cutting tools to operate.  Instead it uses Bound Metal Deposition (BMD), a proprietary process, to near net shape parts, similar to the safest and most widely used 3D printing process for plastics, extrusion.  The Studio System printer features safe-to-handle, swappable media cartridges and quick release print heads for seamless material changes. It was designed for use with a variety of materials– from steels and copper to superalloys like Inconel.

All machine tool distributors owned by Morris Group currently offer the Studio System. Demo systems will be exhibited at several geographic locations throughout the Morris Group distribution network.
