Xact Metal XM200C: specs & public price evidence
Decision context / editorial guidance
Screen the application.
Then qualify the process.
Worth investigating if: your supplier can demonstrate the required alloy, geometry and finished-part specification on the quoted Xact Metal XM200C configuration.
Do not buy on this page alone: a published envelope or machine configuration does not establish repeatability, accepted-part cost or local support.
Editorial purchasing guidance, not a verified recommendation for a particular application.

At a glance
What is it?
Xact Metal XM200C is an entry-class LPBF machine from Xact Metal’s earlier XY-gantry generation, with a 127 mm cubic build space.
How does it print?
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF): a laser melts thin layers of metal powder to build a part.
When might I consider it?
Consider it when a low-cost used entry LPBF machine is in play; confirm the gantry-versus-galvo generation difference against the current XM200G before comparing prices.
What public specs cannot tell you: finished-part speed, cost, quality or fit for your exact application.

What still needs a supplier answer
| Purchasing question | Evidence gap |
|---|---|
| All-in delivered machine price | Current quote required |
| Build time for your part | Not verified for your geometry |
| Alloy and parameters | Confirm the exact qualified combination |
| Application fit | Confirm tolerances, finishing, inspection and local support |
Source review dates identify when the cited material was reviewed. A source review is not a performance test; genuine third-party corroboration is identified separately.
Prepare a useful quote request
Send your exact alloy, dimensions, orientation, supports, inspection criteria and finishing route. Ask for usable build space and effective build time for that configuration. Include installation, training, service, software, gas supply and qualification in the delivered quote. Unverified fields on this page can be used as questions to confirm directly with the manufacturer before purchase.
