But a very different means of making cores and cavities that has now fully come to market still uses a CNC machining center — albeit a modified one — and still works in tool steel — albeit initially in a non-solid form. The company’s process starts with steel in a paste form and is enabled by 3D printing.

But if manufacturers design with it in mind, they can come up with this hybrid system that takes advantage of all forms of manufacturing. They may be dull as dirt, but they’re also in everything: “What makes us a unique fit is two things,” began Strandquist. “AM shouldn’t necessarily be the number one production method.

It’s critical to keep in mind how your 3D-printed design translates to injection molding for both manufacturability and cost. Dexter designs the parts and sends them to his favorite 3D printing company to print the parts in selective laser sintering (SLS) so he can do fit/form/function testing prior to tooling up the parts.
