Direct Metal 3D Printer for Titanium, Stainless, Nickel Super Alloy

Methods 3D, a subsidiary of Methods Machine Tools, will be showcasing the ProX DMP 320, part of the company’s growing line of direct metal 3D printers from 3D Systems. The machine will also be on display in 3D Systems’ booth in the AM Pavilion.

The machine is designed for high-precision, high-throughput direct metal printing, and is applicable in applications requiring complex, chemically-pure titanium, stainless steel or nickel super alloy parts. The 3D printer is designed for production manufacturing, with exchangeable manufacturing modules that support rapid material change or replenishment, enabling efficient powder recycling.

The product features a large 10.82" × 10.82" × 16.53" (275 × 275 × 420 mm) build volume and is designed to handle critical industrial applications, including those in aerospace, automotive and medical. The printer comes in two configurations, one designed for titanium and one designed for stainless steel and nickel super alloys. The machine also features centralized maintenance management, reduced argon gas consumption and serial manufacturing workflow support.
