Machine Comparison
DN Solutions DLX 420 vs Trumpf TruPrint 1000
DN Solutions vs Trumpf · Metal Additive Manufacturing
Summary
The DN Solutions DLX 420 and the Trumpf TruPrint 1000 are both metal additive machines, but they serve different jobs. The DLX 420 is a fiber laser DED machine for repairing and building up shafts and cladding wear layers, then finish turning in the same setup. The TruPrint 1000 is a compact machine for small, intricate parts such as dental frameworks, implants and jewelry. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: laser source, laser power and weight.
The DLX 420 runs a 2-4 kW (configuration dependent) laser against 200 W on the TruPrint 1000, so every DLX 420 configuration is well above the Trumpf's figure. It is also a far heavier machine, 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) against ~600 - 700 kg (1,323 - 1,543 lb).
