The advantages of vertical integration in micro molding include enhanced control over the entire production process, improved coordination between design and manufacturing stages, reduced lead times, better quality assurance and increased cost efficiency. We are now close to using this technology for 3D-printed prototype tooling.

There are many benefits to this method, as lower initial costs and shorter turnaround times make it easier for new or smaller companies with tight budgets to produce their parts and products. Instead, 3D printing and CNC Machining may be a more viable option if you know you will only be producing less than 500 parts.

Additionally, there is growing interest in additive manufacturing (3D printing), which is gaining traction for producing complex, lightweight components, especially in aerospace and defence industries. The group is focusing on expanding its offerings in emerging sectors like aerospace, defence, and electronics. Industry 4.0

Before the end of the next day, I was an electronic assembler. Worked my way from mechanical assembly, electrical assembler up to electronic tech. Pete also appears in our sister podcast all about 3d printing or additive manufacturing. So my role changed relatively quickly. Assembly tech. I mix and edit the show.

It also reduced maintenance costs, tool costs (30-40%) and tooling lead times (20-30%). This is unfortunate since tool production — especially hard/metal tools — can have long lead times and add considerable cost to the bottom line. Photo Credit: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.

New Metal 3D Printing System Accelerates Mold Insert Production. Mantle highlights its new metal 3D printer, which can reportedly produce precision metal mold inserts from a CAD file in a fraction of the time and cost of conventional manufacturing, without requiring programming.

Along with extensive experience in caps, closures and dispensers, the company’s proficiency in tight-tolerance, high-cavitation applications brings opportunities in medical device, personal care and electronic components. This internal capability allows Dynamic Tool to manage lead time and avoid outsourcing bottlenecks.

Listeners who are not in manufacturing might not know this, but it does not take an electronic device to measure part details with units smaller than the eye can see. Pete Zelinski: A micrometer is maybe the most signature tool for the work of a precision machinist, that is a specialist at making precision parts in metal through machining.

And sort of jack of all trades, building stuff and very little bit of electronics work. So we've always worked with a few machine shops around and we have friends who have machine shops, and we know the machine shops and the whole process and the whole paradigm of running work through US machine shops at the time.
