TruPrint 3000

The TruPrint 3000 is a DMLS 3D printer from Trumpf with a 300 x 300 x 400 mm build volume.

Specifications

Here is the verification of the technical specifications for the TRUMPF TruPrint 3000 based on the provided sources. Because this machine uses Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) / Laser Metal Fusion (LMF) technology, some terminology common to plastic extrusion (FDM) 3D printers, such as "hotends" or "nozzles," does not directly apply.

Build Volume & Dimensions

• Build Volume: A cylindrical build area of 300 mm in diameter and 400 mm in height .
• Dimensions: 3385 mm x 1750 mm x 2070 mm (W x D x H) [1, 3, 4].
• Weight: 4300 kg (including filter and powder) [1, 3, 5].

Laser, Hotend & Nozzles

• Hotend/Nozzles: Not applicable.

Calibration

The Trumpf TruPrint 3000 is an industrial Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF / LMF) metal 3D printer, not a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) plastic extrusion printer [1, 2]. Therefore, standard FDM calibration steps such as E-steps, nozzle flow rate, hot-end PID tuning, retraction, and pressure advance do not apply to this machine.

Instead, calibrating the TruPrint 3000 relies on highly automated laser alignment, focal positioning, and powder bed monitoring.

Common defects

Software Bugs & System Errors

Materialise TRUMPF Build Processor (BP) 6.0 Bugs

• Symptom: Laser delays fail to improve overheating effects on thin parts and borders. The laser pulsing feature does not function. Users also experience frequent, unintended changes to their System ID [1, 2].
