Scrap 1
#1 Most compact
and accessible
metal LPBF system
in the World
Scrap 1 is compact yet powerful: a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF, aka SLM) platform built to deliver real metal fabrication with the precision, performance, and economics needed to make advanced metal printing far more accessible.

Spot Size
Compact LPBF footprint
A benchtop-sized system designed to make real metal fabrication far more accessible without giving up the core advantages of LPBF.
Performance-first architecture
Laser control, thermal stability, motion precision, and process tuning are engineered together instead of treated as separate problems.
Designed for real parts
Built around repeatable process control for functional metal parts rather than novelty prints or inflated feature lists.
Precision
30 micron (0.03 mm) layers, closed loop XY positioning, and a focused spot size of 135 microns (0.135 mm) for high resolution repeatable printing and no drift.
Smooth software workflow
Browser-based control, connected machine workflows, and compatibility across ScrapSlicer, PrusaSlicer, and OrcaSlicer are designed to make the user experience feel seamless from setup through production.
Operational efficiency
Modular assemblies, tool-less build platform removal, and fast material changes are aimed at reducing downtime between jobs.
Pricing
$17,990$12,990(Early Bird)
Scrap 1 starts at $12,990 for fully assembled and tested systems during early bird pricing.
Early kit pricing starts at $9,600 for a limited time. Final pricing may vary by configuration and is subject to change.
Priority reservations
Choose the level of early access that fits.
Every reservation tier holds a place in the Scrap 1 queue and credits the deposit toward the final purchase. Higher tiers help us commit earlier to long lead parts and get stronger priority for early access as production slots open.
Priority
$100
Refundable until your slot is confirmed
Best for buyers who want a low-friction way to reserve a place in line while the product moves toward production.
Top Priority
$1,000
Non-refundable
Moves ahead of standard Priority reservations for early access and helps fund long lead items, development, pilot readiness, merch, and sample parts.
Founder
$5,000
Non-refundable
Highest priority with founder recognition, merch, sample parts, and more direct access to early build updates.

Workflow
A platform, not just a printer.
Scrap 1 is positioned as a complete workflow: software, machine control, and part output all working together.
01
Prepare
Load the build, set process parameters, and prepare the machine through the browser-based control flow.
02
Run LPBF builds with actively managed thermal conditions, closed-loop positioning, and process-focused system control.
03
Recover
Remove the build platform, recover material, and turn jobs around with a workflow designed to minimize labor.
04
Deploy
Move from prototype to functional metal parts with a platform built for repeatable engineering output.

What is Scrap 1?
Scrap 1 is Scrap Labs' compact laser powder bed fusion metal 3D printing platform. It is being developed as a serious LPBF system with a smaller footprint, lower power draw, and a simpler path into metal additive manufacturing.
How much does Scrap 1 cost?
Initial kit pricing starts at $9,600 for a limited time. Fully assembled and tested systems start at $17,990. Final pricing can vary by configuration, and the current published numbers should be treated as launch pricing rather than a guarantee of every future configuration.
What is the difference between the kit and the fully assembled system?
The current public offering includes an initial kit path and a fully assembled, tested path. The kit is the lower-cost entry point, while the assembled system is positioned for buyers who want a machine that arrives built and verified. Configuration details can be confirmed during the reservation and sales process.
How separate is the alpha test program from the pre-order kits?
They are related only in a limited way. The alpha program is highly selective, while the beta program is less so. Scrap Labs is prioritizing people who put down a deposit early and appear to be a strong fit for the test program. Once someone is selected, choosing a kit versus a fully tested printer affects cost, not whether they are in alpha, beta, or a later production phase.
