Large Hybrid Steel Insert Solves Deformation, Dimensionality, Cycle Time Problems

Mold Making Technology

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.
