Machine Comparison
EOS M 100 vs Trumpf TruPrint 1000
EOS vs Trumpf · Metal Additive Manufacturing
Summary
The EOS M 100 and the Trumpf TruPrint 1000 are compact single-laser metal powder-bed printers aimed at the same buyers: dental labs, jewelers, medical prototyping and university research. Both run a 200 W fiber laser on a small cylindrical build platform, Ø 100 x 95 mm on the EOS and 100 mm in diameter by 100 mm high on the Trumpf.
The differences are in the details. The TruPrint 1000 lists a finer minimum layer, 10 - 50 um against 20 - 50 µm, and a slightly taller build. The M 100 has the smaller footprint at 800 x 950 mm against ~1,445 x 1,680 mm, though it stands taller at 2,250 mm against 1,600 mm.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | EOS M 100 | Trumpf TruPrint 1000 |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Source | Yb-fiber laser | Trumpf fiber laser |
| Laser Power | 200 W | 200 W |
| Build Volume | Ø 100 x 95 mm (Ø 3.94 x 3.74 in) | Cylindrical: 100 mm (3.9 in) diameter x 100 mm (3.9 in) height |
| Layer Thickness | 20 - 50 µm (material dependent) | 10 - 50 um (0.0004 - 0.002 in) |
| Floor Space | 800 x 950 x 2,250 mm (31.5 x 37.4 x 88.6 in) | ~1,445 x 1,680 x 1,600 mm (56.9 x 66.1 x 63.0 in) |
Advantages
EOS M 100
- Smaller 800 x 950 mm (31.5 x 37.4 in) footprint against ~1,445 x 1,680 mm (56.9 x 66.1 in)
- 800 mm width against ~1,445 mm, easier to place in a small lab or classroom
Trumpf TruPrint 1000
- Finer minimum layer thickness: 10 - 50 um against 20 - 50 µm
- Build height of 100 mm (3.9 in) against 95 mm
- Lower machine height: 1,600 mm against 2,250 mm
Verdict
These two are close in purpose and capacity, so the choice rests on details. Pick the EOS M 100 where floor area is the tighter limit, given its 800 x 950 mm footprint. Pick the Trumpf TruPrint 1000 where fine detail matters most, such as dental frameworks and jewelry, given its 10 - 50 um layer range, or where ceiling height is limited, since it stands 1,600 mm tall.
