The Figur G15 Pro, to be a centerpiece of the show, has been shipping to customers since late 2023. The Pro version now features an automatic 4-tool changer, a tool measurement probe, automatic part lubrication, and automatic machine lubrication.

“The response to Figur G15 from the market across a wide variety of sectors has been exciting,” said Justin Nardone, CEO of Figur, a Desktop Metal brand. “The G15 eliminates a lot of the work required when forming metal, such as the design and manufacturing of tools and dies.

The Figur G15 Pro will be surrounded by a portion of the Forum Pavilion, a large-scale installation created on the machine for the Chicago Architecture Biennial, an international exhibition of architectural ideas, projects, and displays held earlier this year in the Windy City.
