DMP Flex 350

The DMP Flex 350 is a DMLS 3D printer from 3D Systems with a 275 x 275 x 380 mm build volume.

Specifications

The 3D Systems DMP Flex 350 is an industrial Direct Metal Printing (DMP) system, which utilizes Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) technology. Because it is a powder bed metal 3D printer, some specifications (like hotends and nozzles) do not apply in the same way they do for plastic extrusion printers.

Here are the verified technical specifications for the DMP Flex 350 based on the sources:

• Hotend & Nozzles: This machine does not use a hotend or nozzle. Instead, it utilizes a 500W fiber laser with a 1070 nm wavelength to selectively melt metal powder [1, 2].

Calibration

The 3D Systems DMP Flex 350 is an industrial Direct Metal Printer (DMP) that utilizes Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) technology, melting fine metal powder with a 500W fiber laser .

Because this is a powder bed metal printer and not an FDM/FFF plastic filament printer, traditional calibration steps like e-steps, flow rate, retraction, and pressure advance do not apply [4, 5].

Common defects

The provided sources do not contain information regarding hardware bugs, recalls, or End-of-Life (EOL) statuses specifically for the 3D Systems DMP Flex 350, as the documents primarily consist of manufacturer specifications, brochures, and partner announcements. However, the sources do identify several inherent metal additive manufacturing failures, operational weak points, and process defects that the DMP Flex 350 system is designed to detect, manage, and fix.
