What One Click Metal does

One Click Metal GmbH is a German B2B industrial manufacturer founded in 2019 and headquartered in Tamm near Stuttgart, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of INDEX Werke, the globally established CNC machine tool provider. The company designs, engineers, and sells metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems based on Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/LPBF) technology, with a deliberate market positioning around affordability and ease-of-use targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have historically been excluded from industrial metal 3D printing by capital cost and operational complexity.

The product portfolio is organized around two paired print-and-powder workflows. The professional tier pairs the MPRINTpro (500 W fiber laser, self-cleaning filter, designed for serial production) with the MPUREpro (vacuum-conveyed unpacking and automatic sieving); together they form the PROline integrated cartridge-based powder management workflow that minimizes operator contact with powder. The entry/professional tier pairs the MPRINT (200 W laser, prototyping and small batches) with the MPURE and MPURElite unpacking/sieving stations. Recurring revenue is generated through cartridge-locked metal powders covering stainless steels (316L, 17-4PH), tool steel (1.2709/M300), titanium (Ti6Al4V), aluminum alloys (AlSi10Mg, A6061-RAM2, StrengthAl), nickel alloys (Ni-718, Ni-625), and cobalt chrome (CoCr28Mo6), as well as material-specific process parameters, third-party AM software (Autodesk Fusion/Netfabb, Materialise Magics, Oqcam, Pyramis), the MONE software subscription, and training content via the Mcademy knowledge platform.

The business model is primarily hardware sales of metal AM systems plus consumables and software, monetized through a combination of direct enterprise sales, regional reseller partnerships (Tandem in Türkiye, Magù in Italy), an e-commerce storefront for consumables and software, and multi-year service/subscription contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, with active participation in major industry conferences (RAPID+TCT Boston, AMUG Reno), supplemented by content marketing, social media, and dedicated industry landing pages. End markets span industrial manufacturing, medical (patient-specific titanium implants), dental, defense, tooling, consumer/jewelry, and academic/educational users, with named customers including Lerdsin Hospital, Hoedtke Metal Solutions, Frauendienst Dental, INDEX Corporation, Sciath AiM Forge, and Point Designs.
