 INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

The ProX

®

 DMP100 is a high quality direct metal printing (DMP) machine . It brings reliability and repeatability to production-

level direct metal printing . The ProX

®

 DMP100 is designed to meet industrial market demands of reliable, high material 

quality and low maintenance 3D printing machines . 
With direct metal printing, parts are built up layer by layer . Using this technique, the most complex parts can be made . 

Loose metal powder particles are melted together by a high-precision laser . The laser is directed to the powder particles 

in order to selectively build up thin subsequent horizontal layers . Connecting each new layer to the previous one, it brings 

a high quality alternative to the traditional manufacturing processes . Since no tools are used and no material is removed, 

waste is reduced significantly. Parts aren’t built by removing material in different steps, but by adding material. Other 

advantages are the quick set up times and the ability to produce very complex assemblies as a single part .
The ProX

®

 DMP100 has a build platform of 100 x 100 x 80mm which can produce high quality parts in a variety of metals . 

In order to operate the machine safely and efficiently, please follow the following instructions and warnings. The machine 

is a Class I Laser System equipped with a Class IV laser that can be potentially dangerous when the machine is operated 

differently than stated in this manual .
The principal technical characteristics are mentioned on the table :

"Dental" configuration
The ProX® DMP100 system, in its "Dental" configuration, is a solution for the rapid manufacturing by laser sintering to 

perform directly, without tools, fixed and removable dental prostheses.
"Dental" configuration includes the exclusive use of Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum alloy powder ST2724G certified as a 

medical device in a standard ProX® DMP100 machine associated with 

ProX DMP Dental

 CAM software including all non-

modifiable manufacturing parameters by the user.
In the case of a different use of the conditions defined by the "Dental" configuration  - as the use of another powder in the 

machine or modification of the manufacturing parameters - the conformity of dental components built with the machine 

is not guaranteed by the manufacturer anymore . It will be then the responsibility of the user to qualify the manufactured 

dental elements in compliance with standards and regulatory requirements of each country .
