Scrap Labs debuted its Scrap 1 laser powder bed fusion metal 3D printer at the Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival in Loveland, Colorado on April 18 and 19, 2026, marking the machine’s first public appearance.
The Scrap 1 is built around a 100 x 100 x 100 mm build volume and a 200W 915 nm laser. It runs browser-based machine control and works with ScrapSlicer, PrusaSlicer, and OrcaSlicer workflows. The company is pitching it as a metal printing platform that doesn’t require enterprise-level capital to acquire.
Pricing is where Scrap Labs is trying to make its case. Kits start at $9,600, fully assembled early-bird systems come in at $12,990, and standard assembled pricing is listed at $17,990. That’s a fraction of what most commercial metal additive systems cost.
“RMRRF was the right place to show Scrap 1 because the people there understand why access matters,” said Matt Woods, founder and CEO of Scrap Labs. “We are building this for the people who want metal printing in their own shops, labs, and small production spaces without needing a six-figure machine to get started.”
Attendees at RMRRF, one of the more hands-on additive manufacturing events in the country, could ask questions and speak directly with the Scrap Labs team. The company’s now accepting reservations as it continues development and early-access planning for the platform.
