The high technology company TRUMPF presented what it says is the world’s fastest and most productive medium-format 3D printing system at the formnext trade fair in Frankfurt.
TruPrint 5000 works according to a so-called multi-laser principle with three beam sources and is equipped with optics specially designed by TRUMPF.
In combination with the exposure strategies developed by TRUMPF and the optimally adjusted process parameters, the TruPrint 5000 cuts exposure time per job by a factor of three.
Based on Laser Metal Fusion (LMF) manufacturing technology, the system uses laser power to generate complex metallic components layer by layer in the powder bed.
Drawing on many years of development work in additive manufacturing, TRUMPF helped the technology make its breakthrough.
