DMP Factory 500

Derived from 3D Systems’ proven metal additive manufacturing technology, the DMP Factory 500 Solution is engineered and validated for uniform, repeatable part quality, and high productivity in metal 3D printing.

Modularity for a Scalable Factory Solution

The DMP Factory 500 Solution is comprised of function-specific modules designed to maximize efficiency by optimizing utilization. Each module within the factory solution is fully integrated with a Removable Print Module (RPM) which is vacuum sealable for a controlled print environment and engineered to move between printer and powder modules for continuous production workflow.

Printer modules (PTM) are designed for ongoing, 24/7 printing of parts. The Depowdering Module (DPM) and Powder Recycling Module (PRM) are designed to efficiently depowder parts on build platforms and automatically recycle unused powder materials to prepare the RPM for the next build.

Configure your factory setup with the optimum number and type of modules you need to meet your production workflow needs.

Seamless Large Parts

The intelligent laser configuration and 3DXpert software-driven scan technology of the DMP Factory 500 Solution enable the production of seamless large parts the size of the full build volume (500mm x 500mm x 500mm). This results in the highest surface quality for metal 3D printed parts with outstanding material properties.

Intelligent scanning strategies for the 3 lasers allow for seamless large parts.

Uniform, Repeatable Quality

When it comes to production, repeatable part quality is essential. Featuring a vacuum chamber to ensure the lowest O2 content, the DMP Factory 500 printer module provides high-quality 3D printed metal parts. Powder degradation is eliminated by keeping the powder under inert conditions at all times, whether you are printing, depowdering, recycling, or transporting between modules.

This specific vacuum chamber architecture allows for the lowest possible O2 content, ensuring high part quality.

High Productivity

With a large build volume (500 x 500 x 500 mm) and high throughput enabled by multiple lasers, the DMP Factory 500 Solution delivers high productivity in metal additive manufacturing. Paired with its modular design, scaling production is straightforward through the installation of the additional metal printer and powder modules.

Metal 3D Printing with Lower Part Costs

The modular design of DMP Factory 500 Solution enables the continuous function of all metal 3D printing and powder management modules to maximize uptime, throughput, and operational value.

The ability to match the number and type of modules required for your production workflow helps optimize your investment while minimizing manual processes further reducing ownership and operational costs.
