Mold Making Technology

APRIL 3, 2024

Once relegated to rapid prototyping, 3D printing technology has now advanced far beyond the design studio. Today molders, moldmakers and OEMs alike are turning to this layer-by-layer production technology to save time, serve new markets and even fill supply chain gaps. Machines have improved and material options have widened.

While the technology is sometimes thought to be in competition with machining, subtractive processes are also benefiting from AM, with 3D printed parts now making their way into CNC mills, turning centers and bar feeders, as seen in this video. The machine can be equipped with up to five at the same time for continuous production.
