INTRODUCTION
The ProX
®
DMP320 is a high quality direct metal printing (DMP) machine. It brings
reliability and repeatability to production-level direct metal printing. The ProX
DMP320 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 DMP320 has a build platform of 275 x 275 x 420mm (including printing
plate) which can produce big and high quality parts in a variety of metals. The
machine features easy cleaning and rapid material switching.
