High Precision, High Throughput 3D Metal Printers

In Booth S-9119, Methods 3D, Inc. (Sudbury, MA) will be showcasing their new ProX™ DMP 320 direct metal 3D printer from 3D Systems Corporation (Rock Hill, SC) that sets a new standard in metal 3D printing. It is designed for high precision, high throughput direct metal printing and is optimized for critical applications requiring complex, chemically-pure titanium, stainless steel, or nickel super alloy parts. The ProX DMP 320 is designed for production manufacturing, with exchangeable manufacturing modules that support rapid material change or replenishment, allowing shops to keep pace with demanding production cycles and enabling efficient powder recycling. It offers a large 10.82 in (275 mm) x 10.82 in (275 mm) x 16.53 in (420 mm) build volume and is designed to handle critical industrial applications, including those in aerospace, automotive, and medical. The printer comes in two configurations, one optimized for titanium and one optimized for stainless steel and nickel super alloys.

With centralized maintenance management, reduced argon gas consumption, and serial manufacturing workflow support, the ProX DMP 320 also offers competitive operating cost advantages. Methods 3D is installing this exceptional production printer within multiple technology centers across the U.S. to provide product demonstration, training, support, and development of customer solutions that incorporate the full range of available materials. Methods3D is also hosting a 3D Additive Design contest during the show and all IMTS attendees are invited to participate. Up to ten winners (five for metal applications and five for plastics applications) will be selected to have their work showcased.
