Tooling

Tooling is where AM pays for itself quickly. Conformal cooling channels printed right into the insert cut cycle time, stop hot spots and keep the tool alive longer. Geometries that are awkward to mill or impossible to drill become routine.

Applications

What we print for tooling

Case study

One we can talk about

Tooling

Injection Mould with Conformal Cooling

An injection mould core in MS1 with conformal cooling. 38% shorter cycle time, and the hot spots on the moulded part went away.
