Why is additive manufacturing so important in the injection molding industry? Two words: precision prototyping. Injection molding is used to create complex models in mass by creating an outer mold that is filled with resin, shaping the part. The outer molds can be extremely difficult to make, as well as time consuming. That's where Stratasys and Moldex3D comes into play. With the quick nature of additive manufacturing, outer molds can be made quickly and extremely accurately, speeding up production and saving money in the process.
In the next ten pages, we'll discuss the impact that additive manufacturing has had on the injection molding industry, and the demonstration of an effective design validation tool for 3D printed injection molds. We'll discuss what Stratasys can do, what Moldex3D can do, using Moldex3D to detect potential 3DPIM defects, redesigning 3DPIM, and changing the process condition. The implementation of additive manufacturing in the injection molding industry has made an immediate and forceful impact, and it isn't going anywhere.
