- The Figur G15 uses patent-pending Digital Sheet Forming (DSF)
technology in which a software-driven ceramic toolhead on a gantry
shapes standard sheet metal into parts with up to 2,000 lbs of
force
- With a maximum sheet size of 1600 x 1200 mm (63.0 x 47.2 in),
the Figur G15 delivers parts with a draw depth up to 400 mm (16 in)
in Z without custom forming tools, molds, dies, or presses
- The G15 supports forming a range of metals and sheet
thicknesses – including steel up to 2.0 mm and aluminum up to 2.5
mm – and delivers a high quality surface finish
- Manufacturers now have a competitive way to offer formed sheet
metal parts and products quickly for automotive, appliance, and
aerospace applications without the high startup and development
costs normally associated with sheet metal fabrication
- First shown at IMTS 2022, the Figur G15 has sold out of its
initial manufacturing run and is accelerating production to meet
demand
- A video showcasing how Saltworks will be using the Figur G15 is
available at TeamDM.com/Saltworks

Satworks is installing two Figur G15 platforms at its Sarasota,
Florida facility to accelerate its auto restoration business and
expand access to metal forming services to new customers. The
company often creates metal body panels that are no longer
commercially available with manual hammering and laborious forming
processes.
Investing in the Figur G15, the company will dramatically reduce
production times while also having the flexibility of digital
manufacturing to create complex shapes, efficient one-offs, or
produce short-runs of designs. Saltworks recently demonstrated the
capabilities of the Figur G15 at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, where
the team exhibited the entire side body of a Mercedes Gullwing
created of 6061 aluminum panels formed on the G15 in under 10 hours
for the entire 15-piece assembly.
“Our team has over 100 years of combined metal-shaping
experience, and we’re excited to bring the latest digital metal
forming technology in-house,” said David Jacobsen, CEO of Saltworks
Fab. “The Figur G15 buys us time. It allows us to bring vintage
vehicles back to their former glory while also enabling us to enter
a whole new level of business helping customers that currently
don't have the ability or resources to form metal. Figur G15 allows
us to expand access to metal-shaping services to a broader variety
of small businesses, design shops, and self-builders.”
The Figur G15 is the first commercially available machine tool
platform to shape sheet metal on demand without custom tooling.
Introduced at the 2022 International Manufacturing Technology Show
(IMTS) in Chicago, the Figur G15 uses patent-pending DSF technology
in which a software-driven ceramic toolhead on a gantry shapes
standard sheet metal into parts with up to 2,000 lbs of forming
force without tooling, with software that simplifies the creation
of sheet metal part production.
Recently, custom classic car influencer Rob Ida of Rob Ida
Concepts in New Jersey posted on Instagram @rob_ida about how he is
using the Figur G15 technology to create components for a 1955
Tucker Carioca, a vehicle concept from legendary carmarker Preston
Tucker that never made it from drawing to production.
“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. Our system produces designs quickly, accurately, and
repeatedly, so manufacturers are able to focus on the craftsmanship
of design while getting their products to market faster and more
efficiently.”
Saltworks is planning to purchase two additional G15 systems,
for a total of four, to join its initial fleet in the near future
with plans to run all four machines over three shifts to keep up
with demand.
