The recent sale to the Institut Jean Lamour (IJL)[Joint unit of University De Lorraine & CNRS] further accelerates MX-Lab's successful global expansion. Additionally, installations are currently underway at other universities and research institutions.

The MX-Lab, independently developed by InssTek, is a dedicated 3D printer for material research using Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology. The most notable feature of this printer is its "Hexa Powder Feeder" system, which allows for the precise control of up to six different material ratios during experiments. This system ensures accurate powder feeding, even in micro-amounts, making it ideal for detailed and precise research applications. The MX-Lab is designed specifically for research purposes, offering a compact size that allows researchers to design and conduct experiments with high flexibility and ease. Its user-friendly interface and advanced capabilities enable scientists and engineers to explore a wide range of material compositions and properties efficiently.

A testament to MX-Lab's impact on academic research is the steadily increasing number of publications featuring research conducted with this advanced 3D printer. The graph illustrates the surge in research publications featuring InssTek technology since MX-Lab's launch in 2020. This trend reflects the growing recognition of MX-Lab's capabilities in high-quality materials research.
