3D printing technologies to revolutionise rapid tooling applications

By September 22, 2014 12:16 pm IST

 Recent developments in 3D printing and direct digital manufacturing (DDM) technologies are redefining the design and manufacturing processes across all the segments.
According to Ido Eylon, GM (South Asia), Stratasys Ltd said, “3D printing is an extremely valuable tool in the injection moulding industry worldwide. It can help shorten the overall product development cycle and is more cost effective when only a few parts are needed. PIMTs (3D printed injection moulding tool) can be built really cheaply and fast, ready to inject in a few hours.” 3D printed injection mould tools are suitable for small production series but since tools cost is low, they are commercially viable also when only a few parts are needed. The Stratasys Polyjet-based 3D printed injection moulding tool (PIMT) can be built very cheaply and rapidly, and are typically ready to inject in a matter of a few hours.
PIMTs can be used to inject polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS, and thermoplastic elastomers. PIMTs are printed using Objet ABS-like material which is a tough and heat resistant polymer.
