DMP Flex/Factory 350

Robust, flexible metal 3D printer for 24/7 part production

The DMP Flex 350 enables more efficient production of very dense, pure metal parts and includes improved gas flow technology for improved uniform part quality across the entire build area. Flexible, high throughput, high repeatability metal 3D printer that generates high quality precision parts with maximum part size 275 x 275 x 420 mm from the most challenging alloys.

Maintain highly repeatable quality

The DMP Flex 350 delivers the purest atmosphere during printing: a consistently low oxygen environment (fewer than 25 parts per million). This solution ensures excellent microstructures and very high density and stable mechanical properties.

Benefit from high throughput

High throughput 3D metal printing is ensured by the solution’s fast, bidirectional material deposition. At the same time, users’ productivity is accelerated by high printer utilization and short changeover time.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

An efficient factory is streamlined from end to end. With extensive experience in the production environment, our engineers have packaged their production workflow expertise into functional modules that enable maximum uptime and efficiency.

Reduce the lead time

Reduce the lead time

Avoid long and complex manufacturing processes by reducing assembly steps.

Improve function optimization

Improve function optimization

In combination with 3DXpert software, create unlimited lettuce of scaffold structures allowing, for example, better osseo-integration of orthopedic implants.

Increase mold performance and lifespan

Increase mold performance and lifespan

Thanks to freedom of design, improve mold performance due to better thermal optimization during plastic injection or die casting processes.

DMP Factory 350

Ensure maximum safety and powder integrity

DMP Factory 350 has an integrated powder management system with high-performance sieving and automated powder conveyance. The O2-free atmosphere of the powder workflow guarantees highest part quality as well as maximum powder usage and minimizes user powder contact.

DMP Flex/Factory 350 Features

Unique vacuum chamber concept

Consistent, low O2 environment

Reduce your cost to part by avoiding non-quality scrap issues and get access to higher-margin regulated markets like aerospace and medical, where constant quality is a requirement for certified parts. Discover these benefits, thanks to our consistently low 02 environment in the printer to guarantee consistent powder quality for high-quality parts.

 
 

Bi-directional recoating

Boost your productivity

Accelerate your productivity to reduce your cost per part, thanks to our high-performance, bidirectional recoating system that consistently and accurately deposits a fresh powder layer on each pass to reduce the time that the lasers are active.

 
 

DMP Monitoring

Real-time process monitoring

DMP Monitoring allows users to see, analyze, understand and fine-tune their metal AM process with unprecedented capability. The DMP Monitoring toolset for enhanced quality control includes real-time process monitoring, synchronized images of the melt pool and powder bed, synchronized images of active and archived jobs for comparison, and a toolset for analyzing the magnitude of a subject area, enabling:

  • Real-time, in-build data collection and visualization
  • Post-build process analysis
  • Build parameter optimization
 
 

3DXpert

All-in-one integrated software for Additive Manufacturing

3DXpert is an all-in-one integrated software to prepare, optimize and manufacture 3D CAD models using additive manufacturing (AM). Supporting every step of the additive manufacturing workflow from design to post-processing, 3DXpert streamlines your process to quickly and efficiently transition from a 3D model to a successfully printed part.

 
 

DMP Flex 350 Feature

Removable print module

Increase your flexibilty

Improve your flexibility and productivity with a Removable Print Module (RPM) that can be replaced with another RPM just after a job is finished. This also positively impacts the total cost of ownership because you can reduce downtime when switching from one material to another material by having one dedicated RPM per material.
