Built for Education, Industry, Defense, and Makers
Students and teams can explore metal printing with an easy system that supports hands on learning and growth.
Educational Lab Use
Rapid metal part creation helps support testing and research, and holds promise field applications by reducing supply chain demand in contested environments.
Military and Defense
Teams can quickly produce metal parts that aid development, testing, and everyday manufacturing workflows.
Industrial Prototyping
Creators can print strong metal items that expand their skills, ideas, and projects with accessible tools.
Maker Workshop Use
A Closer Look at the Engineering Behind the GS-1
Print Head Assembly
Controls the flow and melting of metal wire through induction heating to support accurate and consistent material deposition.
Wire Feed System
Delivers metal wire at a controlled rate to maintain stable pressure, temperature balance, and smooth material flow.
Build Plate Surface
Provides a textured alloy base that promotes strong first layer adhesion, overall print stability, and easy removal of the finished part.
Control Interface
Offers a familiar and approachable way to load print jobs, manage system settings, monitor progress, and adjust printing parameters.
A New Era of Metal Additive Manufacturing
Generational Systems, also known as Gene-Sys, began at Auburn University where Michael Knotts and his team set out to make metal 3D printing more accessible by applying the principles of plastic extrusion to metal. What started as academic research has evolved into a powerful compact metal additive platform serving education, industry, defense, and creators. Our mission is simple: remove barriers and enable anyone to turn imagination into functional metal parts.
Be One of the First to Shape the Future of Metal 3D Printing
We are currently in pilot sales with select partners to refine the GS-1 and gather real world feedback. If you are interested in being part of this early innovation cycle we would love to collaborate.
