Mastrex debuts $39K MX100 metal AM system at CES 2026
Mastrex, based in Mt Laurel Township, New Jersey, USA, made its first appearance at CES 2026, one year after the company’s founding, to showcase an entry-level metal Additive Manufacturing machine that is claimed to offer the performance of a legacy system at a fraction of the cost.
The company’s flagship entry-level unit, the MX100, is launching with a starting price of $39,000. Despite the relatively low price, Mastrex claims that its technology does not sacrifice the fine-detail capabilities required for professional engineering.
Key features of the MX100 include:
- The MX100 delivers industrial-grade Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) metal AM in a desktop format. Designed for precision, performance, and ease of use, it is suited to prototyping, research, small-batch production, and educational environments.
- The MX100 delivers exceptional accuracy and repeatability, producing parts with outstanding surface finish and fine details right from a desktop.
- Minimal post-processing, smoother parts, right out of the machine. Ideal for functional components, prototypes, and medical or aerospace-grade applications.
- The MX series reportedly offers improved build fidelity compared to other entry-level systems, states the company.
- The MX100 offers material versatility across titanium, stainless steel, aluminium, and more.
- User-friendly software and intuitive controls make setup and operation simple, even for those new to metal AM. Designed for ease of use, enabling quicker operator onboarding.
Mastrex spent its first six months in stealth, focusing heavily on research and development to ensure its hardware was ready for its public debut.
