3D Printing Revolutionizes Tooling
Metal 3D printing is transforming injection molding and die casting. Conformal cooling dramatically improves mold efficiency, 3D printed inserts solve complex mold challenges, and laser repair gives worn molds new life.
Conforme koeling
- Cooling channels follow product contour, impossible with straight drilling
- Cycle time reduction 30-50%, direct capacity increase
- Uniforme koeling, minder vervorming, betere productkwaliteit
- Mold life increase 20-30%
- Ideal for thin-wall, high-precision and transparent parts
Matrijsinzetten
- Complex cavity inserts: 3D print + precision machining, solving traditional challenges
- Conformal cooling channel inserts: contour-following channels
- Multi-material composite inserts: copper alloy + steel, balancing thermal conductivity and strength
Mold Repair and Refurbishment
- Laser cladding repair of worn molds: selective repair of damaged areas
- 60% cost savings and 80% time savings vs new mold
- Prestaties na reparatie 90%+ van origineel
- Multiple repair cycles, extending mold service life
Casestudy
Injection molding factory, thin-wall PP housing: SLM MS1 conformal cooling insert reduced cycle from 18s to 11s, 39% capacity increase, warpage defect rate from 8% to 1%.
