Create top-quality 3D components faster
The highly productive, partially automated TruPrint 5000 3D printing system provides the ideal basis for industrial series production. With optional features, including 500°C-preheating and the fullfield multilaser with three 500-watt TRUMPF fiber lasers, you are perfectly equipped to handle even the most demanding industrial applications. The machine quickly and reliably produces high-quality components made of different metallic materials – and in doing so meets the high quality requirements in tool and mold making, including by means of 3D printing on preform blanks, in aerospace and medical technology. As an option, the entire process chain can be carried out in a shielding gas atmosphere: sieving, printing, cooling, depowdering. Combined with external part and powder management and the monitoring solutions from TRUMPF, it is predestined for industrial additive series production.
Thanks to the Preform option, the TruPrint 5000 supports hybrid component production. For this purpose, the component structures to be additively manufactured are applied to a blank. The innovative option is particularly well-suited for simple handling in tool and mold making.
Maximum productivity
Thanks to the highly dynamic scan strategies with SCANahead, three 500 watt full-field multilasers simultaneously scan the entire build area and thus guarantee optimal surface quality without seams. In addition, the positioning of the laser beam sources is automatically monitored and corrected if necessary.
High component quality
Optional preheating of the substrate plate to up to 500°C ensures a high component quality and a robust LMF process. All important process steps can be performed under shielding gas.
Automatic process start
The automatic process start allows for fast set-up and offers a high degree of process reliability.
Hybrid manufacturing thanks to Preform
Thanks to the preform option, hybrid component production is supported. By using preform blanks you save time and money and at the same time enjoy the advantages of additive manufacturing.
External part and powder management
The TruPrint 5000 enables you to work parallel to production: the set-up process is optimized, productivity is increased and contact with powder is avoided.
Industrial monitoring
Keep an eye on the powder coating, weld pool, machine status, and productivity at all times and have full control over the component quality, layer-by-layer.
Heat exchanger
In the aerospace industry, metal 3D printers can produce large parts without cracks or delamination defects. With the TruPrint 5000 and the 500 °C preheating option, products such as the titanium heat exchanger (Ti64) can be printed in high quality and cost-efficiently – with no rejects or material waste.
Injection nozzle ring
With the TruPrint 5000, high-performance materials can be processed with high productivity on an industrial production scale. The aerospace industry, energy sector and automotive manufacturing benefit from the new material Ti6242, which can be processed reliably and without internal stress in the component using the TruPrint 5000 at 500 °C, such as the injection nozzle ring from Blasius GERG GmbH.
Hybrid tool and mold-making with preform and 3D printing
Additive manufacturing allows you to create castings with deep ribs in a reliable manner. Cooling close to the contour effectively prevents the overheating of domed areas on sliders, enabling you to realize shorter cycle times. At the same time, this improves the micro-crystalline structure of the casting, which in turn increases its load capacity. Thanks to the Preform option, the TruPrint 5000 supports hybrid component production. For this purpose, the component structures to be additively manufactured are applied to a blank. Preform Basic is particularly well-suited for simple handling in tool and mold making.
Tool production using Preform and PBF
With the Preform option, the TruPrint 5000 can produce the milling tool in series, thereby saving costs and material by only printing where it is really necessary. Preform Advanced automatically enables high-precision positioning of the milling heads to be printed on the conventionally manufactured blanks. Design by Paul Horn GmbH.
Bionically optimized heat exchanger
Computer-aided development of an efficient medium-sized heat exchanger by Hyperganic. The pressure drop was reduced by 50% compared to a conventional heat exchanger. The goal was to minimize the pressure loss while achieving maximum cooling capacity, which was only possible by using additive design. The heat exchanger was printed in Ti6242. Designed by Hyperganic.
Titanium hip socket Ti6Al4V ELI
The various grid designs on a hip socket were printed on the TruPrint machines with high detail resolution. Preheating to 500 °C can greatly reduce the amount of support structure; it is even possible to stack parts. Both steps have a positive effect on the entire process chain by reducing material costs and shortening the production cycle.
Bracket on the satellite
Unlike the conventional milling manufacturing process from a block with 95% material removal, by using additive manufacturing you can achieve a 28% reduction in the weight of the satellite structure, as well as a 45% increase in its rigidity.
Tool and mold making
With this Laupp GmbH runner optimized using Powder Bed Fusion, the process steps have been reduced from five to just one, and sealing points have been eliminated. Efficiency is increased and operating costs are reduced through the conformal tempering channels of the series component produced from titanium and the 500 °C preheating option.
Aviation and aerospace
Printing a gimbal with the 500°C preheating option significantly reduces residual stress in the Ti6AI4V component. This opens up entirely new possibilities in design, especially in the construction of more solid components.
Tool and mold making
Printed results for highly polished cores from Reinhard Bretthauer GmbH made out of H11 using the 500°C preheating option are crack-free with densities in excess of 99.9%. Polishing properties are also high with no difference to conventional production. Cooling performance is comparable to copper. Integrated cooling channels enable stable plastic parts production in injection molding and significantly reduces cycle times.
Turbine rotor blades for engines in aviation and aerospace
When a turbine blade is affected by wear, the decision often has to be made: discard it or repair it? Hybrid production with the Preform Basic option saves you costs, material and time for replacement. The defective part of the turbine blade is milled off; Powder Bed Fusion is used for 3D printing on the existing part. This is a significant advantage, especially when supply chains are strained.
