Metal additive manufacturing has long been the domain of high-cost industrial machines. The Wolfpack 3DCP Metallic 3D Printer changes that narrative — making metal 3D printing more accessible, safe, and cost-effective without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re a research lab, small manufacturer, aerospace startup, or jewelry designer, this printer opens up new realms of design freedom.
Key Features & Why It’s Unique
- Wide Material Compatibility
The Wolfpack metallic printer supports a broad range of materials, from 316L stainless steel to titanium, Inconel, precious metals like gold and platinum, and even advanced ceramics and cermets. - High Build Rate & Throughput
With a maximum build rate of 1,000 ml/hr and the ability to produce 8 kg/hour, this printer enables serious production capacity. - Large Build Volume for Desktop-Scale Metal Printing
The build size is 280 × 280 × 325 mm, giving you room to print relatively large and complex metal parts. - Layer Precision & Flexibility
Layer thickness ranges from 0.2 mm up to 2.5 mm, depending on your needs — whether you want fine detail or fast bulk printing. - Nozzle Options
Supports nozzle diameters from 0.4 mm to 5.0 mm and different nozzle materials (stainless steel, nickel-coated, or even plastic) for different materials and resolutions. - User-Friendly Interface
Runs on a web-based GUI (Metallic 3D Fabricate), compatible with STL and OBJ files, accessible via any web browser — no complex software installs needed. - Compact & Lightweight
External dimensions: 610 × 584 × 559 mm, and weighs 16.3 kg (36 lbs), making it surprisingly compact for a metal 3D printer - Power Efficient
Operates on 100–240 VAC (5A peak) — suitable for many labs and workshops without heavy power infrastructure - Precision & Reliability
Dimensional accuracy of ± 0.5 mm ensures that printed parts are consistent and functional. - Support & Training Included
When you buy, Wolfpack provides material licensing, engineer-led training, and 2 liters of feedstock to get you started. - Built in the U.S.
The printer is manufactured in the U.S. and comes with a 1-year limited warranty and 1-year tech support

Comparison: Wolfpack Metallic 3D Printer vs Other Metal Printing Technologies
| Feature | Wolfpack Metallic 3D Printer | Selective Laser Melting (SLM) / Powder Bed Machines |
| Cost to Entry | Relatively affordable desktop / benchtop setup | Very high initial cost, expensive maintenance |
| Safety | No need for dangerous powder handling or laser hazards | Requires controlled environments, powder safety protocols |
| Material Efficiency | Uses feedstock extrusion — less waste | Possible powder waste, support structures, post-processing |
| Build Speed | Up to 1,000 ml/hr (high throughput) | Sometimes slower, especially for dense or complex parts |
| Part Size Flexibility | Build volume 280 × 280 × 325 mm | Build volumes vary, some are very large, but many are smaller or require more complex setup |
| Material Variety | Supports many metals + cermets + ceramics + precious metals | Often limited to a subset of metal powders; changing materials can be time-consuming |
| User Experience | Web UI, simple license + training included | More complex software, safety training required, powder management overhead |
Verdict: For users who want a safe, cost-effective, high-throughput metal 3D printing solution without the complexity of laser powder systems, the Wolfpack Metallic 3D Printer is a compelling option.
Buy (or Rent) — Flexible Ownership
- Buy: Ideal for labs, small manufacturers, and design studios that want a long-term, reliable metal 3D printer.
