INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The ProX
®
DMP200 is a high quality direct metal printing (DMP) machine. It brings reliability and repeatability to production-
level direct metal printing. The ProX
®
DMP200 is designed to meet industrial market demands of reliable, high material
quality and low maintenance 3D printing machines.
With direct metal printing, parts are built up layer by layer. Using this technique, the most complex parts can be made.
Loose metal powder particles are melted together by a high-precision laser. The laser is directed to the powder particles
in order to selectively build up thin subsequent horizontal layers. Connecting each new layer to the previous one, it brings
a high quality alternative to the traditional manufacturing processes. Since no tools are used and no material is removed,
waste is reduced signicantly. Parts aren’t built by removing material in different steps, but by adding material. Other
advantages are the quick set up times and the ability to produce very complex assemblies as a single part.
The ProX
®
DMP200 has a build platform of 140 x 140 x 100mm which can produce high quality parts in a variety of metals.
In order to operate the machine safely and eciently, please follow the following instructions and warnings. The machine
is a Class I Laser System equipped with a Class IV laser that can be potentially dangerous when the machine is operated
differently than stated in this manual.

"Dental" conguration
The ProX® DMP200 system, in its "Dental" conguration, is a solution for the rapid manufacturing by laser sintering to
perform directly, without tools, xed and removable dental prostheses.
"Dental" conguration includes the exclusive use of Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum alloy powder ST2724G certied as a
medical device in a standard ProX® DMP200 machine associated with ProX DMP Dental CAM software including all non-
modiable manufacturing parameters by the user.
In the case of a different use of the conditions dened by the "Dental" conguration - as the use of another powder in the
machine or modication of the manufacturing parameters - the conformity of dental components built with the machine
is not guaranteed by the manufacturer anymore. It will be then the responsibility of the user to qualify the manufactured
dental elements in compliance with standards and regulatory requirements of each country.
