At the 2026 Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival held on April 18-19, Scrap Labs, a startup based in Colorado, USA, officially launched the Scrap 1 Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printer. Positioned as a low-cost metal additive manufacturing solution, the system is available at a limited-time introductory price of $9,600 for the starter kit, rising to $14,200 after April 30, 2026. The fully assembled version starts at $17,990, with shipping expected in early 2027. The Scrap 1 offers a build volume of 100×100×100 mm, equipped with a 200W laser (wavelength 915nm) and a spot size of approximately 135 microns. It achieves a maximum scanning speed of 1500mm/s, layer thicknesses ranging from 20-100 microns, and part density exceeding 99%. The device operates on 100-240V AC single-phase input, with a maximum power consumption of 500W and an average of approximately 250W. It operates within a temperature range of 10°C to 30°C, using argon or nitrogen as shielding gas at a flow rate of 5 SCFH (2.4L/min). A nitrogen generator is available as an option, and the filtration system employs HEPA high-efficiency filtering. The Scrap 1 runs on Klipper open-source firmware and supports various slicing software options, including ScrapSlicer, PrusaSlicer, and OrcaSlicer. Connection methods include a browser-based control panel, Ethernet, WiFi, and USB. It is compatible with a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, tool steel, copper, nickel alloys, and cobalt-chromium alloys. Scrap Labs focuses on incremental improvements to enhance efficiency and reduce waste, rather than implementing major overhauls to the underlying processes. This approach aims to lower system costs while maintaining safety and performance, thereby increasing the accessibility of metal 3D printing.
