Injection molding is the obvious onward step from 3D printing when the making of a few plastic parts becomes their series manufacture. The problem with injection molding is though, that making a mo… ...

As it turns out, 3D printing can help in that regard, with injection molding company [APSX] has given us a look at how it printed injection molds for its APSX-PIM machine.

Join Plastics Engineering Professor David Kazmer for an upcoming webinar, Cost and Sustainability Comparison of Injection Molding with 3D Printing. When: Thursday, April 14, 2022 Time: 8:30 – 9:30 a.m ...

Plastic 3D Printing vs. Injection Molding. Plastic injection molding using dedicated tools and dies has been around since 1872, although it took until after World War II for it to really take off.

The quicker an injection-molded part cools, the less expensive it is. One tooling manufacturer saw this relationship and invested in DMLS machines in 2003 to print optimized tool cores.

HASCO 3D prints injection mold inserts with Stratasys PolyJet technology in a matter of hours and can make design iterations at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional tooling methods.

One area of manufacturing that is experiencing a true paradigm shift is injection molding. By 3D printing the injection molds, manufacturers can functionally test parts in final materials within days ...

Can 3D printing compete on the same manufacturing level as injection molding? HP Inc.'s David Woodlock thinks it can — eventually.

For the injection molding industry, the advent of Digital Molding means the time is here. Philip Schultz is Senior Vice President, General Manager, On Demand Manufacturing & Plastics, 3D Systems ...
