January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
3D Systems has released the DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350 additions to its DMP metal 3D printing platform designed for volume production of components for industrial applications such as aerospace, healthcare and transportation. In addition, the company introduced a new aluminum alloy material, LaserForm AISiMg0.6(A), designed to produce strong, lightweight parts without the need for casting.
The DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350 are engineered for repeatable 24/7 metal part production for R&D, application development and production. 3D Systems’ DMP platform design enables customers to scale from the DMP Flex 350 to the DMP Factory 350 as their production needs evolve.
The DMP Flex 350, successor to 3D Systems’ ProX DMP 320 metal 3D printer, enables more efficient production of dense, pure metal parts and includes improved gas flow technology for improved uniform part quality across the entire build area.
The DMP Flex 350 can be field upgraded to the DMP Factory 350. The DMP Factory 350 combines the same features and advantages of the DMP Flex 350 with integrated powder management. An in-unit viewing panel enables visual inspection of the ultrasonic sieve to ensure incident-free operation. The DMP Factory 350 includes real-time process monitoring via 3D Systems’ DMP Monitoring and allows customers to analyze and optimize parameters for higher quality final parts. Both the DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350 are integrated with 3D Systems’ 3DXpert 14, an integrated software solution for the entire metal additive manufacturing workflow.
The DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350 have a targeted availability of late Q4 2018. The starting price for a DMP Flex 350 is $575,000 (US) and $763,000 USD for a DMP Factory 350.
LaserForm AlSi7Mg0.6 (A), a new aluminum alloy material, is designed to produce lightweight parts without the need for casting, for parts that enable improved fuel efficiency for transportation and other weight-sensitive applications. In addition, the material’s corrosion resistance, high-thermal conductivity and electrical ductility, as well as good ‘weldability,’ are well suited to such applications as housings, mold inserts, impellers and heat exchangers. This new aluminum alloy material is compatible with both the DMP Flex and DMP Factory 350.
