The ultramodern module optimizes the manufacturing process and fully upgrades the DMP Factory 500. The Powder Recycling Module (PRM) is the most recent of in total six components of the manufacturing system. It recycles the powder which was not fused by the lasers during the building process. The system fully automatically sieves surplus material and allow to reuse it in the next process step working in parallel with the Printer Module (PTM) without negativly impacting the productivity. The recycling process is performed under inhert atmosphere in order to ensure highest possible powder quality and mitigating the H&S risks for the operators. Overall, the manufacturing solution consists of six function-specific modules: The Removable Print Module (RPM) is responsible for the powder and parts transport between the 3D Printer, Depowdering Module (DPM) and Powder Recycling Module (PRM) and thus ensures to keep always under control the raw material quality. The Printer Module (PTM) is designed to withstand 24/7 production cycles with maximum printer uptime and performance. The Depowdering Module (DPM) automatically depowders the parts on the build platforms and the Transport Module (TRM) enables efficient transport of the RPMs reducing production time. The Parking Module (PAM) serves as a storage for RPMs in a secured environment until they are ready for further processing. This optimally protects the powder inside the RPM from possible external influences such as oxidation. The DMP Factory 500 modular 3D manufacturing platform is designed for the production of high-quality metal parts using 3D printing up to a dimension of 500 × 500 × 500 mm and is used to streamline workflows at the lowest possible operating costs. The metal printing system was developed by GF Machining Solutions in partnership with 3D-Systems and is being used at the GF AMotion Center for the production of parts for the Aerospace and the energy market.
