Direct Metal Printing System – DMP Flex 100

(More information for DMP Flex 100 3D Metal Printer)
 
DMF Flex 100 can benefit the university community in the aspects of:

• Near-net-shape part with complex structure, which is difficult to be manufactured by traditional machining methods, can be realized by 3d metal printing in a lower cost and less time manner.
• 3D metal printed parts are fully dense, incorporating complex geometries and precise internal features that cannot be made with traditional machining alone.
• Conformal cooling channels can be produced by 3d metal printing, and it can greatly improve performance and resistance to thermal stress. This is ideal for aerospace and automotive applications.
• Organic light-weight form can be produced by using lattice structure which is optimized topologically.
• Metal 3d printed parts have excellent physical properties and the available material range includes difficult to process otherwise materials, such as Cobalt Chrome alloy.

 
There are a number of metals can be used in the printing process by DMP Flex 100, including:

• LaserForm 316L (B)
• LaserForm 17-4PH (B)
• LaserForm CoCr (B)

The CoCrMo Alloy is a Ni-free alloy which is suitable for biomedical applications. Stainless steel 316L and steel 17-4PH are the mostly used materials in the fabrications needs of the university.
