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.

Conformal Cooling

• Cooling channels follow product contour, impossible with straight drilling
• Cycle time reduction 30-50%, direct capacity increase
• Uniform cooling, less warpage, better product quality
• อายุการใช้งานแม่พิมพ์เพิ่มขึ้น 20-30%
• Ideal for thin-wall, high-precision and transparent parts

อินเสิร์ตแม่พิมพ์

• 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

ซ่อมแซมและบูรณะแม่พิมพ์

• Laser cladding repair of worn molds: selective repair of damaged areas
• 60% cost savings and 80% time savings vs new mold
• Post-repair performance 90%+ of original
• Multiple repair cycles, extending mold service life
