Trumpf Inc. is introducing an enhanced version of its TruPrint 2000 3D printer in the United States at Lab Day Chicago, the company announced today.
Hosted by LMT Communications Inc., Lab Day Chicago is the largest gathering of the dental laboratory community in North America and takes place this year on Feb. 22-24.
The new TruPrint 2000 3D features a square build plate and a 500-watt integrated fiber laser. The basic configuration included a 300-watt laser. Using a square build plate, dental technology companies can print up to 36% more removable partial dentures than they could on a comparable round build plate, according to Trumpf.
"The updated TruPrint 2000 is further optimized for mass production. Users from all industries benefit from the machine's high productivity," says Miguel Verdejo, additive manufacturing product and project manager at Trumpf’s Laser Technology Center in Michigan.
Each of the TruPrint 2000’s two lasers can process the entire build plate simultaneously, the company says. Medical technology manufacturers use the 3D printer to produce skull plates, spine cages or knee joints made of titanium.
"In addition to the upgrades of the TruPrint 2000, the machine has the process monitoring and calibration features found in all TruPrint machines. Ensuring repeatable and high-quality parts is the top priority for Trumpf 3D printing, especially in critical areas such as medical and dental technology," says Verdejo.
