The Forust Story

Desktop Metal is a pioneering firm in the emerging global metal binder jetting production market. Forust, a company we first presented to the market last year, is formed by AM industry pioneers that use binder jetting to make sustainable wooden products. It seems “natural” that the two companies are partnering to bring to market Forust as a new process to sustainably produce functional end-use wood parts using patented single-pass binder jetting AM technology. The Forust process upcycles waste byproducts from wood manufacturing (cellulose dust) and the paper industry (lignin) and re-materializes functional wood parts through high-speed 3D printing including digital grain throughout the part.
