Entry-level metal 3D printer offers superior quality and speed

Designed to be used flexibly for research and development, application development and production, the DMP Flex 100 provides up to twice the throughput compared with 3D Systems' previous entry-level metal 3D printer, the ProX DMP 100. It produces precision metal parts with complex fine details and thin walls - achieving superior accuracy, repeatability and surface finish as fine as Ra 5um. Its build volume of 100x100x80mm (3.94x3.94x3.15in) is suitable for small, intricate parts.

The DMP Flex 100 is equipped with enough power to process materials including different grades of titanium and other alloys. At launch, 3D Systems is offering LaserForm CoCr (B) and LaserForm 17-4PH (B) with extensively developed, tested and optimised print databases. Additional LaserForm materials for use with the DMP Flex 100 are in development.

3DXpert, 3D Systems' all-in-one software for Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), is included with the DMP Flex 100 to ensure a streamlined and repeatable process for high-quality optimised prints.

Kevin McAlea, EVP metals and healthcare at 3D Systems, says: "3D Systems is demonstrating its commitment to bringing industrial-grade metal additive manufacturing to a wider customer base with the launch of the DMP Flex 100 metal 3D printer. It features levels of throughput, print quality, ease of use and material choice that put it in a class by itself. We believe this 3D printing solution will further expand the adoption of metal additive manufacturing by designers and engineers, researchers and manufacturers."
