Making short run injection molds with 3D printing
Promulgator：SENOTECT Date：2013/4/19 Hits：6760
Using 3D printing to make injection mold tools can not only save time but also expense over aluminum or steel molds.
In the video below the molds were 3D printed in Objet Digital ABS material. These mold tools are then injected with real polypropylene at 220 degrees C.
The Digital ABS molds were used in over 100 injection shots, producing a total of 600 ice cream spoons, without any visible deformation to the tools.
It used only 7 hours to complete the process, while normally it might take 30 days for the work with traditional manufacturing. The cost saving - 44% over aluminium, 75% over steel is based on the data collected from two traditional CNC mold tool manufacturers in South America.
