Carrier

Mechanical engineering and system construction TruPrint Aluminium Additive Manufacturing

The carrier holds the optics carrier plates and thus forms the optical system of a TRUMPF laser system. The goal of creating a component that is as light and rigid as possible was achieved with the help of additive manufacturing. The switch from conventional production to additive manufacturing enables a weight reduction of 47% and a cost reduction of 42% for the carrier.
