ProX 320

3D Systems
275 mm x 275 mm x 420 mm
Powder Bed Fusion
One of our newest systems on site provides production-grade manufacturing with cutting-edge control in processing conditions. This ‘next generation’ powder bed fusion system utilizes a build volume of 27.5 cm in length, 27.5 cm in width, and 42 cm in height. The ProX 320 utilizes interchangeable build modules to reduce pre- and post-production time.

The ProX 320 has vastly expanded CIMP-3D’s powder bed fusion capacity.

DMP Factory 500

3D Systems
Powder Bed Fusion
This system boasts a build envelop of 50 x 50 x 50 cm operating in the lowest possible oxygen content. The system has a fully sealed powder management system for depowdering and to maintain continuous environment from building to part storage to powder recycling.

This system comes with an integrating DMP Monitoring suite, and is being retrofitted with advanced process monitoring sensors develop by ARL Penn State for other equipment.

Pulsed Laser Processing System

ARL-Integrated Equipment
IPG Photonics 1 kW, ns-pulsed fiber laser
SCANNER: Scanlab intelliWELD 3D scanner
ROBOT: ABB 6-axis robotic arm
ARL’s Pulsed Laser Processing System was developed to optimize coatings removal processes in ship construction. It’s custom controller can execute multi-parameter ablation sequences within a single manufacturing pass to, e.g., ablate tough coatings with relatively intense parameters, which are then (and ~simultaneously) overlaid with other parameters to effect the surface quality.

The same Pulsed Laser Processing System, outfitted with a custom micro-wire feeder, is being used for additive processing (welding) with aluminum.
