Overview

The Trumpf TruPrint 5000 is a laser powder bed machine for metal parts, defined by three figures in its listed table: a cylindrical build volume of 300 mm (11.8 in) diameter x 400 mm (15.7 in) height, a laser row of 3x 500 W (Fullfield Multilaser) and preheating up to 500 degrees C. The round build chamber is the first thing to plan around. A rectangular part has to fit inside the 300 mm (11.8 in) circle, so its diagonal decides whether it goes in, not its longest side.

The lasers are Trumpf fiber lasers and the build rate is listed as up to 90 cm³/h (5.5 in³/h). Read that as a ceiling. What a job actually reaches depends on the alloy, on how much of each layer is melted and on the layer thickness, which spans 30 - 150 um (0.0012 - 0.006 in). Thin layers buy detail and surface finish at the cost of hours; the thick end of the range is where the higher rates come from.

Preheating matters most for the crack-prone end of the material list. A hot plate lowers the temperature difference between the melt and the solid metal under it, which reduces the stress built into tool steels and titanium alloys. The listed materials also cover stainless steels, aluminum alloys, nickel-base superalloys, cobalt-chrome and copper alloys, processed under nitrogen or argon.

The remaining rows describe a machine set up for repeat production: automated sieving and recirculation of powder under inert atmosphere, automatic build cylinder exchange, Melt Pool Monitoring on all three lasers, Powder Bed Monitoring and TruTops Print software. For installation the listed figures are approximate, ~4,616 x 2,068 x 2,538 mm (181.7 x 81.4 x 99.9 in) and ~7,500 kg (16,535 lb), on a 400/460 V, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz supply.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Three lasers, listed as 3x 500 W (Fullfield Multilaser), with a build rate of up to 90 cm³/h (5.5 in³/h)
Preheating up to 500 degrees C, which helps with crack-prone tool steels and with distortion in titanium alloys
Layer thickness adjustable across 30 - 150 um (0.0012 - 0.006 in), so one machine covers fine-detail and high-rate builds
Automated sieving and recirculation of powder under inert atmosphere, plus automatic build cylinder exchange
Melt Pool Monitoring on all three lasers and Powder Bed Monitoring are both in the listed table
Runs under nitrogen or argon across a material list that reaches from aluminum alloys to nickel-base superalloys and copper alloys

Limitations

The build volume is a cylinder of 300 mm (11.8 in) diameter, so square or rectangular parts lose the corners a box-shaped chamber of the same width would offer
Build height stops at 400 mm (15.7 in); taller parts have to be reoriented or split
The 90 cm³/h (5.5 in³/h) build rate is an upper limit, and the listed figures give no rate per material or per layer thickness
At ~7,500 kg (16,535 lb) and ~4,616 mm (181.7 in) long, floor loading and access need checking, and both figures are only approximate
The listed table has no rows for laser spot size, accuracy or gas consumption, so those must be asked for before specifying a job

Best For

Series metal parts that fit 300 mm (11.8 in) diameter x 400 mm (15.7 in) height Tool steel builds that need preheating up to 500 degrees C Titanium alloy and nickel-base superalloy parts under argon or nitrogen Production runs that rely on automated powder sieving and recirculation Builds that call for melt pool and powder bed monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the build volume of the TruPrint 5000?

The listed build volume is cylindrical: 300 mm (11.8 in) diameter x 400 mm (15.7 in) height. Because the chamber is round, check a rectangular part by its diagonal rather than its width, and remember that supports and any allowance for cutting the part off the plate come out of the 400 mm (15.7 in).

02 How many lasers does the TruPrint 5000 have and how fast does it build?

The laser power row reads 3x 500 W (Fullfield Multilaser), and the source is a Trumpf fiber laser. The build rate is listed as up to 90 cm³/h (5.5 in³/h). That is a maximum, so expect less on jobs run at the thin end of the 30 - 150 um (0.0012 - 0.006 in) layer range or in alloys that need slower parameters.

03 Why does preheating up to 500 degrees C matter?

Laser melting puts a very hot track on top of much cooler metal, and the stress from that difference is what warps parts and cracks hard alloys. Preheating up to 500 degrees C narrows the gap. It is most relevant to the tool steels and titanium alloys on the material list, and less so for stainless steels that build well without it.

04 Which materials and shielding gases are listed for the TruPrint 5000?

The material row lists stainless steels, tool steels, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, nickel-base superalloys, cobalt-chrome and copper alloys. The inert gas is nitrogen or argon. Powder handling is listed as automated sieving and recirculation under inert atmosphere, which keeps reused powder away from air between builds.

05 What does the TruPrint 5000 need for installation?

The listed machine dimensions are ~4,616 x 2,068 x 2,538 mm (181.7 x 81.4 x 99.9 in) and the weight is ~7,500 kg (16,535 lb), both approximate. The electrical supply is 400/460 V, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz. A nitrogen or argon supply is also needed. The table gives no gas consumption or connected load, so get those figures before preparing the site.
