Overview
The DN Solutions DCM 3780 F II sits in the middle of the DCM double-column family, combining the 8,250 mm (325 in) X-travel of the 3280 with the expanded 4,400 mm (173 in) Y-travel and 1,000 mm (39 in) Z-depth of the larger models. It's the sweet spot when you need serious cross-travel without stepping up to the 10-meter-class 37100.
Double-column construction means the spindle is always supported between two rigid uprights. There's no overhang, no deflection increase as you move further from the column — the machine cuts with the same stiffness at the center of travel as it does at the edges. That's why double-column machines dominate large-part aerospace and energy work.
At 112,000 kg (246,918 lb), the DCM 3780 F II carries enough mass to absorb vibration from heavy roughing passes on steel, cast iron, and titanium. The W-axis crossrail adjusts vertically to position the spindle at the right height for each workpiece, and the 45,000 kg table capacity means you won't run out of load rating on even the heaviest castings and weldments.
Rapids match the 37100 at 16/18/15 m/min (X/Y/Z). The 1,000 mm Z-stroke is a major advantage over the 3280's 700 mm, giving you the depth to machine deep cavities, thick plate profiles, and multi-sided structural components in fewer setups.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Combines generous 8,250 mm X-travel with expanded 4,400 mm Y-travel — covers most large structural components
- 1,000 mm Z-axis depth handles thick sections and deep cavities that the 3280's 700 mm can't reach
- 112,000 kg machine weight crushes vibration during heavy roughing in steel and titanium
- Double-column gantry eliminates deflection across the full working envelope
- W-axis crossrail provides flexible working height adjustment for different part profiles
- 45,000 kg table capacity handles the heaviest castings and weldments in heavy industry
Limitations
- 112-ton weight requires purpose-built foundations and heavy rigging capability
- Massive footprint limits installation options to large dedicated bays
- Moderate rapids mean long cycle times for positioning across full travel
- Capital investment exceeds $1M — justification requires consistent large-part volume

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Plan on $1,000,000 to $1,800,000 depending on spindle head configuration, tooling packages, and options. Installation including foundation engineering and rigging typically adds $100,000-$250,000.
02
The 3780 adds 700 mm of Y-travel (4,400 vs 3,700 mm) and 300 mm of Z-depth (1,000 vs 700 mm) while keeping the same 8,250 mm X-travel. It weighs 18,000 kg more. Choose the 3780 when you need the extra cross-travel and depth; the 3280 saves money if 3,700 mm Y is sufficient.
03
The DCM series typically offers multiple spindle head configurations including fixed vertical heads and optional universal heads with A/C-axis rotation for 5-axis contouring. Spindle speeds, power ratings, and taper sizes vary by configuration.
04
A machine weighing 112,000 kg requires an engineered reinforced concrete foundation designed specifically for the machine's weight distribution and dynamic cutting forces. DN Solutions provides foundation drawings as part of the installation package.
