A 3D Printing Retrospective

Mold Making Technology

3D printing advancements and applications have gone from conformally cooled hot runner nozzles using a 3D-printed pattern to cast the part with integrated cooling circuits (left) to large DMLS 3D-printed parts in 420 stainless steel with integrated conformal cooling and InnoVent Technology for venting (right).

5 Trends in 3D Printed Injection Mold Tooling

Mold Making Technology

But while reduced cycle times and improved part quality resulting from cooling advances were once the primary reason that AM made its way into moldmaking, 3D printing is now also being used to make molds for different reasons — including cost, lead time and feature complexity as I saw at this year’s Plastics Technology Expo, or PTXPO.

Learning From Additive Manufacturing Qualification In The United States Marine Corps 

Additive Manufacturing

What does that mean for the qualification of 3D printed parts? is to leverage additive manufacturing to reduce maintenance cycle times, curb supply chain backlogs, and place manufacturing capabilities at or near the point of need. Most of these printers capable of printing green bin parts are polymer.
