ORIX Rentec Introduces German Metal 3D Printer TruPrint 1000 at 3D Printer Modelling and Prototype Verification Service Site Tokyo 3D Lab.

TOKYO, Japan - November 30, 2021 - ORIX Rentec Corporation (“ORIX Rentec”) today announced that it has introduced the metal 3D printer TruPrint 1000 manufactured by Germany-based TRUMPF GmbH + Co. KG (“TRUMPF”) at the Tokyo 3D Lab. within ORIX’s Tokyo Technology Center. Together with the EOS M 290 from Germany-based EOS GmbH (“EOS”) and Metal X from US-based Markforged, Inc. (“Markforged”), Tokyo 3D Lab. is able to conduct direct comparison verification using three 3D printers having different features.

The newly-added TruPrint 1000 has a compact design based on ergonomics that removes the need for demanding body positions. The touchscreen allows simple and intuitive operation. It can produce models of high accuracy using maraging steel, stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, aluminum, titanium, and pure copper^*1. It also adopts an open parameter specification that allows the user to configure different parameters^*2 for each type of metal material, allowing it to handle a variety of materials.

In recent years, metal 3D printers are increasingly being used in a wide range of applications—from development and prototyping of various mechanical parts to mass production—in aerospace, automobile, electric and other industries, and there are rising expectations of them as new manufacturing methods rooted in decarbonization and resource circulation.

ORIX Rentec was established in 1976 as Japan’s first measuring instrument rental company and, since then, it has focused on providing rental services for high-tech devices. In 2015, the company commenced a 3D printer business that includes contract-based modeling service by metal and resin 3D printers. ORIX Rentec will support the research and development efforts of customers and contribute toward solving the issues faced by society and companies by applying the company’s strength in collaborating with global companies that have the latest technologies and offering major systems from several manufacturers.

*1 As the 3D printer installed at Tokyo 3D Lab. is the TruPrint 1000, pure copper—which can be handled by the TruPrint 1000 Green Edition—is outside the scope of the verification service. However, ORIX Rentec can provide contract-based modeling and rental services.
*2 Instructions that are configured for the execution of programs.
