GF Machining Solutions Demonstrates AM Production, EDM Cut-Off Solutions at AMUGexpo 2020

At the 2020 AMUGexpo, exhibitor and platinum sponsor GF Machining Solutions will demonstrate its high-throughput DMP Flex 350 metal 3D printer and its new AgieCharmilles Cut AM 500 horizontal wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) in Booth P1, March 22-26 at the Hilton Chicago. These high-precision machines combine to create a complete automation-ready additive process that includes the ability to quickly and accurately separate parts from build plates without the use of a band saw.

The DMP Flex 350 enables efficient 24/7 production of very dense, pure metal parts from 11 ready-to-run challenging alloys, including thoroughly qualified Inconel, titanium, cobalt chrome, aluminum and steel. Improved gas flow technology produces more-uniform part quality throughout the build area. Short changeover times and streamlined 3DXpert all-in-one parametric software speed the process from 3D model to successful part printing, with reduced assembly steps for better manufacturing efficiency and maximum uptime through well-developed and tested print settings.

The DMP Flex 350 generates precise parts and guarantees excellent microstructure density, stable mechanical properties and consistent powder quality for high-quality parts. For the ultimate in flexibility, the DMP Flex 350 upgrades to the DMP Factory 350, with integrated powder management system, high-performance sieving and automated powder conveyance. The AgieCharmilles Cut AM 500 cuts AM parts that feature specific support structures and cavities with remaining AM powder.
