Our best estimate for the 3D Systems DMP Factory 500 is $1,500,000 – $2,500,000. This is an estimate for a metal additive manufacturing in this class, not a quote from 3D Systems; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/3d-systems-dmp-factory-500#price; the request is passed to 3D Systems or an authorised dealer.
500 x 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 x 19.7 in), with the height inclusive of the build plate. The DMP Factory 350 and the DMP Flex 350 both build within 275 x 275 x 420 mm, so the DMP Factory 500 offers a much larger plate and a somewhat taller build.
Three. 3D Systems lists 3 x 500 W fiber lasers with a wavelength of 1070 nm. Sharing each layer between three beams is what keeps build times practical on a 500 x 500 mm plate, especially at the thicker end of the 5 µm to 200 µm layer range.
LaserForm Ni718 (A), LaserForm Ti Gr23 (A), LaserForm AlSi10Mg (A) and Certified HX, with other materials available upon request. That gives a nickel alloy, a titanium and an aluminium alloy as the named LaserForm powders. The process gas listed is argon, at 6-10 bar (87-145 psi).
The printer weighs 8232 kg (18148 lb), excluding the RPM. The RPM weighs 1318 kg (2906 lb) uncrated, excluding metal powder, and the powder is 250 - 1000 kg (660 - 2210 lb) depending on material type. Floor loading should be worked out from all three figures together.
Electrical supply is 400 V AC 3 phase + N + PE at 50/60 Hz. Compressed air and argon are each required at 6-10 bar (87-145 psi). Cooling is handled by 2 chillers supplied with the printer. The uncrated machine measures 3010 x 2350 x 3160 mm (118.5 x 92.5 x 124.5 in).
The control software is the DMP Software Suite, and the software tools are listed as DMP Software Suite + 3DXpert. The operating system is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. Input formats are native CAD files, STEP, IGES, ACIS Parasolid and STL, and the network connection is 1 Gbps Ethernet on an RJ-45 plug.
