TRUMPF Unveils TruPrint 1000 3D Printer for High-Quality Dental Prosthetics

TRUMPF has introduced the TruPrint 1000, a compact 3D printer tailored for dental labs, offering fast production of dental prosthetics. Showcased recently at the IDS in Cologne, Germany, the TruPrint 1000 is gaining attention for its reportedly superior capabilities in the production of metallic dentures, particularly in the preform version.

Eight Times Faster than Conventional Processes

Reinhard Sroka, a representative from TRUMPF, lauds the TruPrint 1000 as the fastest machine in the dental market, stating, “In the dual-laser version, the machine is about eight times faster than conventional processes such as milling.” The TruPrint 1000’s speed and efficiency make it an ideal solution for the dental industry, which requires custom-made prosthetics in large quantities.

Compact and Mass Production Versions

According to TRUMPF, one of the key advantages of the TruPrint 1000 is its compact size, measuring around 80 centimeters wide. This makes it easy to deliver and set up says the manufacturer, even in small laboratories with limited space. Multiple units can be operated side by side in parallel, further speeding up the production process. The TruPrint 1000 also boasts automatic plate changing capabilities, allowing for up to four substrate plates to be inserted at once in the build cylinder without interrupting the production, making it possible to produce metal dentures overnight.

The TruPrint 1000’s build volume (cylinder) is 100 mm in diameter with a height of 100 mm, and the Multiplate option allows for the insertion of up to four substrate plates at once, guaranteeing a longer machine runtime. It is also capable of producing a wide range of geometric shapes, including complex designs, thanks to its advanced technology and integrated camera in the build chamber, which allows for real-time monitoring of the powder bed and component’s condition.

Furthermore, TRUMPF offers a larger version, the TruPrint 2000, designed for mass production of “removable partial dentures” (RPDs). The TruPrint 2000 is optimized for high-speed printing and can produce up to 100 RPDs in just 24 hours, reducing manufacturing costs. The printer also offers digital connections to milling stations, enabling the manufacture of high-precision dental products from CAD designs.
