Inductor segments

Mechanical engineering and system construction TruPrint Copper Additive Manufacturing

This is a section of an inductor segment from TRUMPF Hüttinger, which is installed in generators for industrial heating. Additive manufacturing of the induction segment eliminates the need for time-consuming soldering work and reduces the risk of leaks due to re-melting of previously soldered seams. This leads to process-reliable and economical production of the inductor compared to multi-step manual soldering.

Facts & figures about the example part

Material: Cu-ETP

Components: 3 (conventionally 5)

Soldering work: 2 (conventionally 4)

Processed components: 0 (conventionally 1)

Weight:  120g

Created by: TRUMPF

The partial assembly of individual tube segments into a 3D-printed part reduces production steps and prevents existing soldered joints from melting. This cuts costs and reduces the risk of leaks.
