Trumpf 's TruPrint 1000 uses a laser and metallic powder
to quickly and easily build any desired component,
based on the data supplied directly by a CAD program.
Laser metal fusion systems create the component,
layer by layer, from metal powders with grain sizes
as small as 20 microns. This technology is ideal for
any parts with a complex geometry, such as those
with internal channels and hollow spaces, and for
manufacturing individual parts of short production runs
economically. During the build, a layer of metal powder
is applied to a substrate plate and then a 200-W laser
is used to fuse the cross-section of the geometry to
the plate. After the exposure, the plate is lowered and
the next layer of powder is applied. This procedure is
repeated until the part is finished. The system offers
all the components integrated into a single compact
housing, including the laser, optics, process enclosure,
filter unit and control cabinet. Trumpf 's TruPrint 1000
offers all the benefits of additive manufacturing
including simple and intuitive operation, high process
speed, and individual adaptation.
