Generational Systems (Gene-Sys) is a company focused on making metal additive manufacturing more accessible. The company develops wire fed metal 3D printing technology designed to reduce cost complexity and operational barriers associated with traditional metal printing systems.

The GS-1 is a wire fed metal 3D printer that uses induction heating to melt metal as it is deposited. It is designed to support metal additive manufacturing in education research industrial and applied engineering environments.

The GS-1 uses metal wire as feedstock and induction heating to melt the material at the point of deposition. Molten metal is placed layer by layer onto a build plate to form solid metal parts through a controlled and repeatable process. This workflow is similar in concept to plastic FDM printing while accounting for the unique requirements of metal fabrication.

The GS-1 is currently focused on aluminum alloys. Additional materials with similar melting characteristics may be supported as development continues. Future work is aimed at expanding material compatibility to support additional applications.

No. The GS-1 uses a wire fed process and does not rely on metal powders. This reduces material handling concerns and helps create a cleaner and safer operating environment.

The GS-1 is intended for a wide range of users including educational institutions research and development teams industrial organizations makers and applied engineering groups. It is designed for users who want practical access to metal additive manufacturing without extensive infrastructure.
