Video: Hybrid Manufacturing Without Melting: Hermle’s Metal Powder Application (MPA) Process

Mold Making Technology

The process supports the precise addition of material, such as conformal copper areas added to injection mold tooling to improve cycle times. Initially, most applications for MPA had to do with conformal cooling, introducing copper into mold tooling for heat dissipation to improve cycle times.

New Report Signifies Disruptive 3D Printing Technology Set to Break into Mainstream Production

i4.0 today

Composite-based additive manufacturing appears to be on the verge of breaking through as a ‘mainstream’ method of production, according to a new report on disruptive 3D printing technologies. Current 3D printing simply cannot deliver the level of precision and material strength required for these applications.

Joint Research Project 3D Prints MIM Tool With Near-Contour Cooling

Mold Making Technology

A 3D-printed tool for metal injection molding being produced on an ExAM 255. The basis of the development is the use of spin-off company AIM3D’s composite extrusion modeling (CEM) technology with an ExAM 255 system. Long-term experience shows a reduction in cycle time by around 20%, depending on wall thickness and size.
