ROCK HILL, S.C., June 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 3D Systems
(NYSE: DDD) today launched the new DMP Flex 100 and DMP Dental 100
3D printers, introducing superior quality, versatility and
throughput for entry-level metal 3D printing and dental
applications.
Designed to be used flexibly for R&D, application
development and production, the DMP Flex 100 provides up to twice
the throughput compared to 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 5 μm. Its
build volume of 100 x 100 x 80 mm (3.94 x 3.94 x 3.15 in) is ideal
for small, intricate parts.
The DMP Flex 100 is equipped with enough power to process a
material spectrum that includes different grades of Titanium as
well as other alloys. At launch, 3D Systems is offering
LaserForm® CoCr (B) and LaserForm 17-4PH (B) with
extensively developed, tested and optimized print databases.
Additional LaserForm materials for use with the DMP Flex 100 are in
development.
3DXpert™, 3D Systems' all-in-one software solution for Design
for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), is included with the DMP Flex
100 to ensure a streamlined and repeatable process for high quality
optimized prints.
3D Systems is also addressing the unique requirements of dental
labs with the new DMP Dental 100 metal 3D printer. This entry-level
solution is designed for a maximum price/performance ratio -
producing high-quality, metal dental prostheses in a
business-boosting digital workflow. For example, the DMP Dental 100
can print up to 90 crown copings in less than four hours in a
single print run, with only 25 minutes required for heat
treatment*. Outstanding surface quality means minimal
post-processing is required and a typical print accuracy of
50-microns ensures an exceptional fit for crown copings, bridges,
suprastructures as well as for partial frames. To streamline the
digital dentistry workflow, the DMP Dental 100 printer comes with
LaserForm CoCr (C) material (ISO 13485, ISO 9001, FDA and CE
qualified) and includes a high-performance 3D Systems software
solution for managing the manufacture of fixed and removable dental
prostheses.
3D Systems believes the resulting accelerated throughput of the
DMP Dental 100 will give dental labs a competitive edge for quick
turnaround jobs and more flexibility to respond to customer
orders.
"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 and DMP Dental 100 metal
3D printers," said Kevin McAlea, EVP
metals and healthcare, 3D Systems. "Both solutions feature levels
of throughput, print quality, ease of use and material choice that
put them in a class by themselves. We believe these 3D printing
solutions will further expand the adoption of metal additive
manufacturing by designers and engineers, researchers,
manufacturers and dental professionals."
Both the DMP Flex 100 and DMP Dental 100 metal 3D printers are
available immediately.
*Based on internal 3D Systems testing.
