TruPrint components for powder and parts handling

Optimal handling of the powder and components is crucial for additive series production on an industrial scale. The industrial part and powder management from TRUMPF enables you to increase productivity and profitability in your production operations as setup and powder removal on one or more TruPrint machines can be performed parallel to production.

You benefit from the highest possible degree of flexibility due to the modular construction and the use of standard interfaces. The central components in this regard are the unpacking station, the sieving station/powder preparation station, and the powder silos. These devices are suitable for several machines simultaneously and can be used on TruPrint series machines as well as your entire industrial production line. As a result, you can easily set up powder, build, and parts processes to run in parallel.

High productivity

Setup and powder removal are performed parallel to production, which increases productivity and profitability.

Clean production

The closed powder circuit ensures a clean, safe production environment at all times

Short throughput times

Benefit from the high degree of automation and high outputs, even when handling large powder volumes.

Powder handling under shielding gas

The inert powder handling meets increased requirements when it comes to quality and the obligation to provide proof.

Modular system for your TruPrint machines

All industrial part and powder management components can be combined as part of a modular system. This means you can combine the ideal machine and components to ensure reliable powder and parts handling (including optional shielding gas) in your specific industrial production scenario. We would be glad to help you select the most suitable TruPrint machines and versions of the various industrial part and powder management products.

Exchangeable cylinder principle

With the integrated exchangeable cylinder principle, your setup times are shorter, and you can increase your productivity at the same time. While the TruPrint machine prints parts, the powder can be sieved into the supply cylinder and the build cylinder set up. Once the build job is complete, the build cylinder and supply cylinder are exchanged for the prepared cylinders – and the machine continues producing directly.

Run your processes in parallel

You can easily set up powder, build, and parts processes to run in parallel. The industrial part and powder process components are based on a closed powder circuit. This means you have a clean and safe production environment, and also save time.

Separation of building and powder processes

Benefit from safe handling due to the simple separation of powder and production areas for your industrial series production. You can also use the components of the industrial part and powder management for several TruPrint machines.

Double lid principle

Reduce time and costs due to a machine that ensures inert conditions end to end: Before the build/supply cylinder is removed, the cylinder is closed using the cylinder lid. So that the process chamber remains inert when opened and the cylinder is removed, another lid – the process chamber lid – is used to seal it. This means that production can continue directly once another cylinder has been brought in.
