M789 combines high hardness with excellent corrosion resistance. This tool steel specifically optimized for laser powder bed fusion processes such as direct metal printing (DMP) displays a broad process window on 3D Systems DMP Flex and Factory 350 and ProX DMP 320 metal printers leading to high density parts across the build plate.
Print parameter database license available in 3DXpert metal AM software developed and tested for high repeatable part quality and consistent part properties
3D Systems offers an optimized print parameter databased license for Certified M789 (A) available on the DMP Flex and Factory 350 and ProX DMP 320 printers through the integrated additive manufacturing workflow software, 3DXpert. 3D Systems’ metal print parameters have been extensively developed, tested, and optimized by 3D Systems and GF Machining Solutions together with voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl and industry partners.
