Crown copings 3D printed on the DMP Dental 100.
3D Systems has launched two new machines, the DMP Flex 100 and DMP Dental 100 metal 3D printers, offering superior quality and throughput for entry-level metal 3D printing and dental applications.
The printers are designed to be used flexible for R&D, application development and production. Compared to the previous ProX DMP 100, the DMP Flex 100 provides twice the throughput to produce precision metal parts with complex fine details and thin walls. Its build volume of 100 x 100 x 80mm is ideal for small, intricate parts. The printer is also equipped with enough power to process a material spectrum that includes different grades of titanium as well as other alloys. Alongside the launch, 3D Systems is offering LaserFOrm CoCr (B) and Laserform 17-4PH (B) with optimised print databases, and new LaserForm materials for the new DMP Flex 100.
The DMP Dental metal 3D printer is designed for a maximum price/performance ratio, and produces high-quality, metal dental prostheses in a business-boosting workflow. An example of this based on internal testing, is that the machine can print up to 90 dental crown copings in less then four hours in a single run, with only 25 minutes heat treatment.
3D Systems Introduces New DMP Flex 100.
“3D Systems is demonstrating its commitment to bringing industrial-grade metal additive manufacturing to a wider customer base with the launch of the DMP Flex 100 and DMP Dental 100 metal 3D printers,” said Kevin McAlea, EVP metals and healthcare, 3D Systems. “Both solutions feature levels of throughput, print quality, ease of use and material choice that put them in a class by themselves. We believe these 3D printing solutions will further expand the adoption of metal additive manufacturing by designers and engineers, researchers, manufacturers and dental professionals.”
3D Systems believe that the DMP Dental 100 will give dental labs a competitive edge for quick turnaround jobs and more flexibility to respond to customers orders. Both printers are available immediately.
