Kanfit acquires metal and ceramic AM solutions from XJet

Kanfit, a build-to-spec/print engineering and manufacturing company, has acquired NanoParticle Jetting (NPJ) solutions from XJet, a ceramic and metal AM technology developer. The acquisition includes XJet’s flagship Carmel 5000X solution for 17-4PH stainless steel production and the Carmel 1400C ceramic solution. This dual-system adoption not only reinforces Kanfit’s position in metal AM but also establishes its entry into advanced ceramic production – positioning the company as a comprehensive precision manufacturing powerhouse.

Since 1986, Kanfit has established itself as a leading Israeli manufacturer of precision and detailed components, subassemblies, and ready-to-mount assemblies. With extensive production expertise, including powder-bed fusion (PBF) capabilities, the company has built a legacy of manufacturing excellence spanning nearly four decades.

Kanfit’s adoption of NPJ technology aligns with its vision as a one-stop-shop, turnkey manufacturing service provider delivering the highest quality products and services. Featuring increased build volume – double that of the Carmel 1400C – and an advanced inkjet system with 100% ink recirculation for minimal waste, XJet’s Carmel 5000X delivers superior material efficiency and enables faster, fully automated manufacturing with exceptional print quality and limitless product design freedom. Kanfit’s customers will benefit from shorter lead times, more design freedom, and improved performance.

This technology adoption strategically targets high-end aerospace, industrial, and medical device applications – sectors where Kanfit has established excellence in delivering superior services and where both companies recognize the critical need for manufacturing breakthroughs.

“With XJet’s metal and ceramic solutions, we can help our customers push the boundaries of innovation, producing highly complex components with unmatched precision and efficiency,” said Avi Danon, CEO of Kanfit. “XJet’s metal and ceramic inkjet solutions add another crucial piece to our comprehensive manufacturing capabilities. They enable us to offer unprecedented design freedom and production efficiency while maintaining the exacting quality standards our customers across all segments expect.”

“Kanfit’s expertise in aerospace and medical manufacturing makes them the ideal partner to bring our technology to market,” said Guy Zimmerman, CEO of XJet. “Together, we are unlocking new opportunities for advanced, high-value production worldwide.”
