Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is a key technology used to print tool cores (also called mold inserts) for injection-molding processes.

3D printing needs to mature before it is considered an alternative to injection molding for large-volume production jobs.

CNC Kitchen tests whether it is possible to use 3D printers to injection mold plastic components with surprising results. Injection molding ...

This white paper provides methods and guidelines for using stereolithography (SLA) 3D printed molds in the injection molding process to lower costs and lead time.

At its Michigan location, the company also offers low-volume injection molding and assembly. At two 3D printed mold inserts (like the first image and this detail from that insert) not only enable fine ...

Stratasys' Objet500 Connex color, multi-material 3D Printer has been a key driver in the launch of PRIM, enabling Promolding to reduce injection mold lead times for its customers by 93% (Photo ...

PepsiCo Inc. patented technology in late 2021 for a blow molding process that uses 3D printed mold inserts instead of metal tooling to create new bottle designs at a faster rate and reduced cost.

Injection molding is one of the leading processes for manufacturing plastics. It is widely used for mass-producing identical parts with tight tolerances. This white paper provides methods and ...
