Why is additive manufacturing so important in the injection moulding industry? Two words: precision prototyping. Injection moulding is used to create complex models in mass by creating an outer mould that is filled with resin, shaping the part. The outer moulds can be extremely difficult to make, as well as time consuming. That's where additive manufacturing comes into play. With the quick nature of additive manufacturing, outer moulds can be made quickly and extremely accurately, speeding up production and saving money in the process.
In the next twelve pages, we'll discuss the impact that additive manufacturing has had on the injection moulding industry, from straight-pull moulds to insert moulding. We'll also discuss technologies being used, materials, and real-world performance for companies such as Berker, Arad Group, and Grundfos. The implementation of additive manufacturing in the injection moulding industry has made an immediate and forceful impact, and it isn't going anywhere.
