ATLIX Retires TruPrint, Rebrands Its Entire Metal 3D Printer Lineup as xBUILD

A Name Change, Not a Hardware Overhaul

ATLIX, the company that emerged from TRUMPF's additive manufacturing division, has retired the TruPrint name. All four machines in its metal powder bed fusion lineup now carry the xBUILD moniker, effective September 1, 2026. The hardware, optics, and specifications carry forward unchanged. Buyers are simply getting new branding on the same systems.

The Four Machines Under the New Name

The xBUILD 1000 is the compact entry point, aimed at labs and smaller facilities that prioritise precision in a reduced footprint. The xBUILD 2000 sits in the mid-tier, marketed on print quality and operational efficiency. The xBUILD 3000 is the industrial-scale workhorse, built for multilaser operation on larger or more complex builds. The xBUILD 5000 is the flagship, handling large critical parts and high-volume serial production runs.

If you know the TruPrint 1000 through 5000, you already know the xBUILD range. The numbering maps directly.

Why the Rebrand Matters

Renaming an established product family in metal AM is not trivial. Purchasing cycles are long, procurement teams run formal vendor reviews, and machine operators build years of familiarity with a platform's behaviour. TruPrint carried the credibility of its TRUMPF-era pedigree. Walking away from that name signals that ATLIX wants a clean, standalone identity that is not tethered to its corporate parentage.

The xWORLD framing is ATLIX's attempt to build a cohesive ecosystem brand. The x represents the combination of application, expertise, and technology. BUILD reflects the core purpose of the machines: high-quality, scalable production.

What Changes for Buyers and Service Bureaus

Practically, not much in the short term. Benchmark data and process parameters tied to the TruPrint generation transfer directly to the equivalently numbered xBUILD machine. A xBUILD 3000 is a TruPrint 3000 with new signage on the build chamber panel. Existing maintenance agreements and spare parts chains are the main items buyers should confirm with their ATLIX account teams.

ATLIX will showcase the rebranded machines at IMTS in Chicago and Formnext in November. If you are evaluating industrial LPBF systems in the next few months, expect to see xBUILD on the spec sheets and show floor signage.
