ExOne Focuses North American Service Centers on Accelerating Adoption of its Binder Jet 3D Printing

The ExOne Company (NASDAQ:XONE), a global provider of three-dimensional printing machines and 3D printed and other products, materials and services, announced that it will begin to refocus how it demonstrates and provides its industrial sand core and mold binder jet 3D printing services in North America. To facilitate faster adoption of its technology, ExOne will refocus its production service centers located in Troy, Michigan and Houston, Texas into ExOne Adoption Centers.
As quoted in the press release:

ExOne will expand these existing centers to provide a greater variety of its latest binder and material sets, including cold hardening phenolic and sodium silicate production, as well as an expanded range of its machine platforms and machine options.  In addition, ExOne will create more robust, regionally-based material development services, as well as expand its technical and training services within the EACs.
“We completed a market assessment of where we stand with industrial customers’ desires for binder jet 3D printing,” said ExOne CEO, Jim McCarley.  “We see the North American market adoption rate of sand printing technology accelerating.  Contributing to this, our S-Max platform, which has been designed with an expanded binder and base material configuration, is well positioned for growth in this area.  Our goal with the EACs is to create the proper support and service structure to ensure we sustain the market’s momentum.”
