Modularity for a Scalable Factory Solution
The DMP Factory 500 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. A DMP Build Changeover Station (BCS) can be utilized to turnover a printing module from one build to the next and can effectively serve two DMP Factory printers that are running different materials.
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 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.
Metal 3D Printing with Lower Part Costs
The modular design of DMP Factory 500 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.

Proven Metal AM Technology
High throughput, highly repeatable metal AM system that generates precision quality parts from a broad range of alloys with high quality material management for maximum powder usage. For companies scaling their metal AM production and requiring limited operator exposure to powder.
Optimize Your Workflow
Workflow optimized solution for massive scalability, repeatable high-quality parts, high throughput.
Cost-Effective and Flexible Build Turnarounds
The DMP Build Changeover Station is a standalone module where a DMP Factory 500 removable print module with a finished build can be changed over into a state ready for a new build. The DMP Build changeover station allows the user to depowder a finished build, remove a base plate with a printed part, add fresh powder, install a new base plate, and prepare a removable print module ready for launch of the next job. Changing materials on the DMP Build Changeover Station proper is achieved in a matter of minutes. As a result, it can serve multiple printers running different materials in parallel. The DMP Build Changeover Station is ideally suited to startup up production on our DMP Factory 500 solution which can eventually be upgraded to our premium peripheral chain with dedicated depowdering and sieving module to meet growing throughput needs.
