领先的3D打印机制造商3D Systemshas announced the latest additions to itsDMP金属3D打印平台– the DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350 3D printers.
此外，该公司推出了一种新的铝合金材料LaserformAISiMg0.6(A), and established a new Customer Innovation Center (CIC) in Germany for plastics in additive manufacturing. Vyomesh Joshi, President and CEO at 3D Systems explained:
“在Formnext 2017, I announced 3D Systems’ intent to bring 3D printing to the factory floor with a new generation of additive manufacturing solutions. Over the last year we have brought to market an unrivalled series of plastic and metal 3D printers, materials and software that are optimizing workflows, enabling new design innovations, and reducing costs.”
DMP Flex 350
Following the release of theDMP工厂500, the new DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350 are designed for improved volume production for industrial applications such as aerospace, healthcare, and transportation. With a build volume of 275 x 275 x 380 mm (10.82 x 10.82 x 14.96 in), the DMP Flex 350, successor to theProX DMP 320 metal 3D printer, reduces material waste, and set-up times. In comparison to the ProX DMP 320, the DMP Fex 350 offers improved print productivity of 15%. And, most Importantly, the Flex is designed to be easily scaled up in a factory setting as demand increases.
沙龙·图维亚（Sharon Tuvia）, an Israeli manufacturer of mechanical aeronautical assemblies, tested 3D Systems’ new AISiMg0.6(A) on the DMP Flex 350. Ronen Sharon, CEO of Sharon Tuvia said:
“我们对DMP Flex 350生产的钛零件提出了挑战，并进行了一系列外部测试 - 评估伸长，压力，疲劳，微观结构分析和其他因素。”
“激光钛零件执行无平行。检查缺乏融合时，结果尤其出色，也称为不完整的融合。使用金属3D打印技术生产的大多数零件将显示缺乏融合。当我们从3D Systems的DMP Flex 350测试钛零件时，绝对没有融合。”
DMP工厂350
DMP工厂350保持最大构建体积为275 x 275 x 380毫米（10.82 x 10.82 x 14.96英寸）upporinf可重复的高质量零件和较低的总运行成本（TCO）。DMP Flex 350的功能和优势包含在此系统中。两者之间的主要区别是添加粉末管理模块。
An in-unit viewing panel is included in this modules which allows for visual inspection of the ultrasonic sieve to ensure incident-free operation. Moreover, both the DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 350 are integrated with 3D Systems’3DXpert 14。
DMP Flex 350和DMP工厂350have a targeted availability of late Q4 2018. The starting price for a DMP Flex 350 is $575,000 (US)/€504.528 (EU countries), and $763,000 USD/€669.487 (EU Countries) for the DMP Factory 350.
3D Systems establish Customer Innovation Center
With the aim of strengthening customer relations as well as material developments, 3D Systems has opened a new CIC in Moerfelden, Germany. Application engineers from the center will work with customers and their unique use cases to benchmark additively manufacture parts and products.
VJ补充说：“我们的策略使客户成为我们所做的一切的中心。”“每个客户都有特定的需求 - 也许是他们想为大规模定制做的事情，或者他们有要建立的复杂部分。无论情况如何，我们都需要从客户及其特定用例开始。这就是真正了解客户并知道需要完成的工作的力量。”
