TRUMPF Inc. has introduced the TruPrint 1000 laser metal fusion (LMF) system for 3-D printing. The company offers the laser beam source, machine, powder, services, and application consulting from a single source.
The system uses a laser and metallic powder to build any desired component, based on data supplied directly by a CAD program. LMF systems create the component, layer by layer, from metal powders with grain sizes as small as 20 microns. This technology is suitable for parts that are complex in their geometry, such as those with internal channels and hollow spaces, and for manufacturing individual parts or short production runs.
The user interface with touchscreen control steps the operator intuitively through the individual phases of the process. All the components, including the laser, optics, process enclosure, filter unit, and control cabinet, are integrated into the system’s compact housing.
