Remember One Click Metal? A spin-off of the machine manufacturer TRUMPF that has decided to make affordable metal 3D printers its core mission. The Stuttgart-based manufacturer has added a new 3D printer to its BOLDSERIES portfolio: the MPRINT+.
In an interview with 3D ADEPT Media, Björn Ullmann, co-founder and CEO explained that the secret behind their affordable metal 3D printers was their diode laser. The release of the new MPRINT+ reveals that two other ingredients have been added to their list: a Galvo scanner. Combined with the fibre laser, the 3D printer would be a production equipment that lowers part costs and delivers productivity and precision without jeopardizing quality.
Like the other printers of this portfolio, the MPRINT+ is delivered in a package that includes software and unpacking as well as sieving station at a system price of less than 100,000€.
According to the company, with a diameter of 45μm and a scanning speed of up to 3000mm/s, not only does the component quality improve in terms of density and surface finish, but the cost per component is also reduced by up to 40%. It is also equipped with optimised features such as the powder cartridge or coater system.
“When introducing the fibre laser into our metal 3D printer, it was important to us that we retain the great advantages of the MPRINT, but at the same time additionally improve the existing modules of the new MPRINT+,“ says Stefan Weber, CTO and Co-Founder.
With the new MPRINT+, One Click Metal expects to meet the needs of targets and new markets beyond training centres and universities.
