Precision & Details
How Fine it Prints
40μm Ultra-Fine Spot
A laser spot half as wide as a human hair, precise enough to capture threads, thin walls, and surface detail that reads as craftsmanship.
How Smooth It Builds
30μm Layer Thickness
Fine layers help preserve smooth curves and surface.
How Accurately It Shapes
0.05mm* Dimensional Accuracy
Printed metal parts stay true to your design, enabling precise fits and reliable assembly.
*Dimensional accuracy is based on SnowX's internal testing of a 12×12×12mm test lattice and reflects the results obtained under those specific test conditions. Actual accuracy may vary depending on part geometry, dimensions, and printing conditions.

Safety by Design
Clean, Worry-Free
Workflow.
From Load to Retrieval
Enclosed Powder Management
Sealed cartridges load directly into the build chamber — no loose powder handling. A transfer box keeps the part enclosed during retrieval, so you never reach in bare-handed. Dual HEPA 13/14 filtration runs continuously, with PM2.5 monitoring that holds the chamber sealed until the air is clear.
Sealed Operating Environment
Pre-assembled cartridges and the sealed build chamber keep powder from leaking out.
Touchless with Transfer Box
Realize touchless part retrieval and fast powder curing with safe processing.
The Air Stays Clean Too
Dual HEPA 13/14 Filtration
99.995% efficiency for particles ≥0.3μm* — high-grade filtration, running every print.
*SnowPod is equipped with an H14-rated filter. The stated 99.995% filtration efficiency is based on the minimum overall efficiency requirement for H14 filter elements under EN 1822 at the Most Penetrating Particle Size.
PM2.5 Interlock System
Continuous sensors track PM2.5, air quality, temperature, and humidity throughout the print. If any reading drifts outside safe limits, the hardware interlock pauses the printer automatically — before it becomes a problem.
Easy To Use
From Design to Done.
Anyone Can Run It.
Easy Removal Supports.
The patented support structure breaks away cleanly by basic hand tools — no angle grinders, no cutting tools, no damaged surfaces.
*The support removal shown is for demonstration purposes only. In actual use, pliers or other basic hand tools should be used.
The specific tools required may vary depending on part geometry and support structure.

About SnowX
Built Iteration by Iteration
Starting with four people. Multiple product generations. Each one shaped by real prints, real feedback, and the conviction that desktop metal printing could be done better.
Built from Curiosity
SnowX started with a feeling most of us remember: the boundless imagination of playing in the snow, building something from nothing. We carry that spirit into everything we make. Start with the creator. Find the friction. Make it better.
We began with 3D printing — and saw both enormous potential and a stubborn gap. Creating with metal was still far beyond the reach of most people.
SnowPod is our answer. A desktop metal 3D printer designed to be approachable without compromising precision. Our first step toward putting metal in the hands of every maker.
Born Global

As Seen On.
Bringing desktop metal 3D printing into the spotlight.
“We see SnowPod as a thoughtful attempt to make desktop metal 3D printing more precise, accessible and practical.”
“At the SnowX booth at TCT Shenzhen, I tried removing supports from a metal print — the supports came off far more easily than I expected. Metal 3D printing finally feels like something I could bring to my own desk.”
“SnowPod is an interesting attempt to make metal powder bed fusion significantly more compact and accessible. Its closed powder handling and integrated safety features address some of the key challenges of bringing this technology beyond traditional industrial environments.”
“What impressed me most is how much thought went into handling and safety: a cartridge system that makes the powder easy to manage, plus measures to deal with dust. I truly envy today’s generation, who get to count a metal 3D printer like SnowPod among their options from the very start.”
“The very idea of a desktop LPBF 3D printer for under $10,000 seemed too good to be true and was unthinkable just a couple of years ago. Seen up close, the Snowpod shows every sign that the time for metal 3D printing on the desktop has arrived.”
FAQ
SnowPod is compatible with 316L stainless steel. Additional materials will be added through future software and process updates.
Yes. SnowPod is designed for desktop environments. Please follow the official installation, operation, and maintenance guidelines.
PPE is recommended during normal operation, and must be worn during maintenance or servicing. Appropriate protective equipment may include laser safety goggles, nitrile gloves, anti-static clothing, and other PPE as specified.
