LaserForm 316L starter kit: To get you started with a safe-to-use material and associated extensively developed, tested and optimized print parameters, a LaserForm 316L stainless steel kit is included in the bundles.
Build volume reducers: Ideal for academic innovators looking to test, experiment and develop new alloy formulations or print limited quantities of precious metals, build volume reducers are included in the DMP Flex 200 and DMP Flex 350 bundles.
Installation and Training
3D Systems’ experts will install your new DMP Flex 200 or Flex 350 and calibrate it to specification. We will also train your operators at one of our facilities. They will spend seven days learning to operate your new system at one of our Customer Innovation Centers in either Leuven, Belgium, or Littleton, Colorado.
Powerful Software – Three-year Subscription with Ten Student Seats
3DXpert Educational software saves labor and part cost while giving your team complete control over your additive manufacturing workflow. A three-year subscription is included with the academic bundle and includes up to 10 student seats which can enable research team utilization.
Available with the DMP Flex 350 bundle, DMP Monitoring and 3DXpert Build Insight three-year subscription enable to analyze process monitoring data, visualize detected anomalies in 3D and diagnose build design and printer related issues.
Maintenance and Tech Support – Two Years of Service in Addition to One Year Warranty
The academia bundle adds two years of service coverage and preventative maintenance on top of the one-year standard warranty and preventative maintenance of the DMP Flex line of metal 3D printers. It also includes unlimited remote technical support, onsite labor, discounted replacement parts and printer software and firmware updates.
This special offer is exclusive to academic and research institutes, subject to eligibility. Other exclusions may apply.

Deliver Your Cutting-Edge Breakthroughs with DMP Technology
Compactness, Safety and Versatility with the DMP Flex 200
The small footprint of the DMP Flex 200 (1210 x 1720 x 2100 mm - 48 x 68 x 83 in) makes it easier for research departments to install it in their labs. It features sealed powder loading and recycling, which prevents contamination, and an external vacuum cleaner hookup, which allows the build chamber to be cleaned without opening the door. Collectively, these features increase operator safety while promoting a clean working environment. The compact build volume (140 x 140 x 115 mm - 5.51 x 5.51 x 4.53 in) of the DMP Flex 200 is ideal for experimentation with smaller quantities of material and can help organizations save on acquisition and material storage costs, especially when dealing with precious or exotic materials. It comes with a patented roller recoater system that is not sensitive to powder morphology, particle size distribution or general flowability specifications.
Chemical Purity and Flexibility with the DMP Flex 350
The DMP Flex 350 is designed for flexible application use for academic research projects. Quick-swap build modules enable easy material switches. Due to the unique vacuum chamber concept of the DMP Flex 350, it is showing best in class oxygen purity (<25 ppm). This results in exceptionally strong parts of high chemical purity. Its bi-directional recoating system consistently and accurately deposit fresh powder and enables the use of smaller powder particles and deliver parts with higher density, finer detail and the thinnest possible walls.
High Powered Laser
Developing parts that are stronger, lighter and more functional and successfully processing a wide range of metals and alloys requires a high-powered laser. Whereas most comparable competitive systems offer lasers in the 200 to 400 watt range, the DMP Flex 200 includes a single 500 watt laser that delivers outstanding performance in a compact form, also equipping the DMP Flex 350.
3DXpert Educational Software
The 3DXpert Educational is an all-encompassing software package that is fully compatible with the DMP Flex family of 3D printers and provides users with total control over their workflow with an open architecture for custom material parameter development. Specifically designed with research in mind, it maximizes design freedom while ensuring a streamlined and repeatable methodology for producing high-quality, optimized parts.
