Additive manufacturing
For getting started with 3D printing
Trumpf shows how tool and mold making can make use of additive manufacturing.
As heat is generated during the production of injection-molded or die-cast components, many manufacturers equip their moulds with cooling channels to keep the temperature constant. When producing molds with cooling channels, subtractive manufacturing processes such as milling reach their limits due to the rapidly increasing complexity of the structures. This is where 3D printing comes into its own.
Trumpf will therefore be showcasing its TruPrint 1000 as an entry-level model for additive manufacturing. The system is easy to install and operate thanks to the plug-and-play principle and is particularly suitable for the production of small injection mold inserts, for example for plastic connectors in the electronics industry. The company will also be exhibiting various tools and moulds with optimized cooling.
