MTI Enhances Direct Metal Printing Capabilities With ProX DMP 200 3D Printer

Metal Technology (MTI) is expanding its direct metal printing capabilities by adding a 3D Systems ProX DMP 200 to the shop floor. The addition of the ProX DMP 200 will bring ease to many areas of the direct metal printing process. Specifically, it will become much easier to remove one material and add a different material without risking cross-contamination. This is the main point of differentiation between the direct metal printing abilities of the ProX 200 and the ProX 300 – a direct metal printing 3D printer that is already in use at MTI. Another point of differentiation between the two printers is that the ProX 300 utilizes an extensive materials handling system that recycles the fine metal powder (input material) through a particle sieving and vacuum transfer system. On the other hand, the ProX 200 has no such recycling system. As MTI begins to develop C-103 for SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research), as well as for other partners, the ProX 200 will provide a more flexible, less costly, and less time-consuming option for the optimization process involved in direct metal printing – including build-parameter and chemistry evaluation.
