Initially, that involved 3D printing metal tool components, details and geometries that would otherwise need to be EDM’d. Solution: Using an EOS DMLS printer and MS1 powder, an insert was printed on a stainless build plate, and pre-plumbed to connect extensive conformal cooling channels to the mold’s cooling system.

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.

There have been smaller applications like a small assembly press in automotive, but now it’s into large applications like a large stamping press. Morris also lists medical/lab processes, CNC machining, 3D printing and cobot applications as growth areas for motion control. It’s in its infancy but moving fast,” he says.
