Initially, that involved 3D printing metal tool components, details and geometries that would otherwise need to be EDM’d. That led to many aerospace companies knocking on Linear’s door, asking to observe the machine running, since the only other company with an EOS metal additive printer was another aerospace competitor.

End-to-End Conformal Cooling Design, Production for Faster Cycle Times, Boosted Part Quality. Cooling is a critical process for plastic injection molds, affecting both cycle time and final part quality, Cimatron notes, but is especially challenging for complex parts when using traditional drilling and milling methods.
