TRUMPF announced that it is set to present a new solution that automatically changes substrate plates on the TruPrint 1000 3D printer.

 .

The high-tech company intends to unveil it at Frankfurt’s Formnext, the world’s leading trade show for additive manufacturing.

 .

A function TRUMPF calls Multiplate prompts the system’s recoater to push the substrate plate into the overflow container at the end of the print run.

 .

The 3D printer then automatically goes to work on a new substrate plate. The system can immediately start the next print job without an operator having to open it and insert a new plate. This saves time, costs and resources. It also helps manufacturers avoid bottlenecks when job orders peak, because the machine can run overnight. This solution is particularly well-suited for industries where orders tend to fluctuate greatly. Click here to view original web page at manufactur3dmag.com
