Technology company Trumpf enables cost-effective and sustainable mass production with its 3D printers. In many cases, the high-tech company uses the systems for its own sustainable production of series parts.

3D printing plays out its advantages in the dental industry, medical technology, tool and mould making and aerospace, among others. “We are the technology and market leader in 3D printers for the dental industry. We want to further expand this position,” says Bannmüller. To that end, Trumpf is launching the new Truprint 2000, which will celebrate its world premiere at Formnext in Frankfurt. With its up to 500-watt laser and square build plate, the machine is designed for mass production, such as of dental prostheses.

“It is now impossible to imagine the aerospace industry without additive manufacturing of series parts. Our customer Airbus, for example, uses additive manufacturing to produce components for passenger planes and helicopters,” says Bannmüller. The series parts are particularly light and at the same time very stable. They therefore meet the high quality standards in aviation.

Tool and mould making also benefits from 3D printing. Designers can rethink the design of components in additive manufacturing and print geometries that cannot be implemented in other ways, such as internal cooling channels for their tools. “Other industries are also discovering more and more the potential of 3D printing. One example is additive manufacturing of bicycle parts,” says Bannmüller. Manufacturers can use 3D printers to produce brake levers made of titanium, for example. Additive manufacturing is what makes the cost-effective processing of this material possible in the first place.
