Methods 3D, Inc., a newly formed group of Methods Machine Tools, Inc., has announced the addition of the new ProX DMP 320 to its growing line of direct metal 3-D printers from 3D Systems.
"The ProX DMP 320 is designed for high precision, high throughput direct metal printing and is optimized for critical applications requiring complex, chemically-pure titanium, stainless steel or nickel super alloy parts," said a company spokesperson. "The ProX DMP 320 is designed for production manufacturing, with exchangeable manufacturing modules that support rapid material change or replenishment, allowing manufacturers to keep pace with demanding production cycles and enabling efficient powder recycling."
The ProX DMP 320 offers a large 10.82" (275 mm) x 10.82" (275 mm) x 16.53" (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 optimized for titanium and one optimized for stainless steel and nickel super alloys. "With centralized maintenance management, reduced argon gas consumption and serial manufacturing workflow support, the ProX DMP 320 also offers competitive operating cost advantages," said the spokesperson.
Methods 3D is installing the ProX within multiple technology centers across the U.S. to provide product demonstration, training, support and development of customer solutions on this production printer incorporating the full range of available materials. "We are excited to offer the ProX DMP 320 along with the extensive line of 3D Systems Direct Metal Printers (DMP)," said Benjamin Fisk, General Manager, Methods 3D, Inc. "Its production manufacturing capability, in addition to high strength, high density, exceptionally pure materials at low operating costs, offers ideal additive manufacturing solutions for today's demanding applications."
In October 2015, Methods Machine Tools announced it entered into a partner agreement with 3D Systems, a provider of 3-D printers, print materials and cloud-sourced custom parts.
