How 3D Printing Supports Toolmaking Workforce at This Multiscale Molder

Mold Making Technology

Today, a small but growing fraction of that mold tooling is being 3D printed. While General Pattern has been using 3D printing for prototyping since the 1980s, the company held off on deeper implementation of AM until the technology felt more mature. Printed green parts require sintering before use.

Designing a 3D Printed Part with Machining in Mind

Modern Machine Shop

Machining can be an obstacle in the quest for “first-time right” 3D printing — designers need to ensure parts can be held in the machine tool, and that machines can access the features and critical surfaces that need to be machined. These areas were machined to ensure a flush fit. Machinable support structures.
