With an expansive portfolio of 3D printing solutions, Desktop Metal seeks to transform manufacturing with its P-50 3D Printer. By meeting challenges of speed, quality and cost with vigor, Desktop Metal hopes the P-50 and its other printing solutions highlight the need for the presence of additive manufacturing in industries around the world.
The P-50 is designed to mass produce high-performance metal parts with repeatability. With a build box of 490 x 380 x 260 mm (19.2 x 15 x 10.2 in) and the ability to achieve speeds up to 100 times those of prior powder bed fusion additive manufacturing technologies, the bidirectional, area-wide printing of the P-50 enables production quantities of up to millions of parts per year at costs competitive with conventional mass production techniques, according to Desktop Metal.
The 3D printing platform supports a materials library which includes 10 qualified metal alloys, including commercially pure copper and stainless steels like 17-4PH. Additional metal alloys are currently in active development. Desktop Metal credits the P-50’s repeatability to the printer’s anti-ballistics technology, print bar redundancy and live optical print bed inspection.
