MoldJet® technology is the beating heart of Tritone’s systems designed to bring metal production to true industrial scale. By combining mold printing with high-density material deposition, it enables the creation of complex geometries with exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and mechanical performance.
MoldJet is a paste-based metal additive manufacturing technology designed to bridge the gap between metal binder jetting, direct metal laser sintering (DMLS/SLM), and traditional metal injection molding (MIM). By combining powder-free operation, high-density material deposition, and production-scale throughput, it delivers an alternative for manufacturers that need production-quality metal parts without the complexity of powder handling or the cost and lead time of dedicated tooling.

Cleaner production with no loose metal powder. Unlike binder jetting, MoldJet uses high-density paste and enables material changeovers in approximately 30 minutes
Produce complex internal geometries without support structures. Unlike DMLS/SLM, MoldJet reduces post-processing while enabling greater design freedom
Achieve >99% sintered density and MIM-like mechanical properties. Unlike traditional MIM, MoldJet eliminates tooling investment and moves from design to production in days
MoldJet® technology comes to life through two advanced systems — Tritone DIM and Tritone Dominant. Each system is designed to meet different production needs while sharing the same core MoldJet innovation.
MoldJet® technology is the industrial solution for metal and ceramic manufacturing.
MoldJet enables applications ranging from thermal management and production tooling to aerospace, medical, luxury products, and sealed hollow components with complex internal geometries.
