Additive Production of molds : Printing Guidelines

Objectives:

• Additive manufacturing for production of thermoforming / blow molding / injection molding molds

• Shorter lead-time than standard processes! (down to 2 days for an insert)

• Save tooling costs on low production volume runs

Applications:

• Validation of mold design, part functionality with the final material

• Validation of Pre-series, small series

Framework:

• Parts size : small to medium 50 to 100 tons injection molding machines

• Material injected influences tool lifetime

• Main competitor = aluminium mold!

Additive Production of molds: Mold fabrication

• Several technical options are available depending on the molding process. Hollow structure, reinforced hollow structure, backfiller, thermal postcuring, coatings, conformal cooling channels

• a

• Partnership with Initial and automotive group for injection molds development. Industrial partnership with leading companies for other molding technologies

23

Thermoforming Molds

• Manufacturing process used for forming plastic sheet

• Technical Key points : Recommendation to use reinforced hollow structure

• Thermal absorption easier to control

• Vacuum easier to transfer to molding surface

• Less resin consumed

24

Composite materials molds• Molds for Hand lay-up, Autoclave process (RTM)

• Same technical specifications as molds for Thermoforming.

25

Injection Blow Molding• Process used for production of series hollow items (e.g. Bottles)

• Hollow items blown from a pre-form in an heated blower

26

Injection Blow Molding: 50cl Bottle use case

Injection Molding

Overview

• Manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mold.

• Injection molding is the most common modern method of manufacturing plastic parts.

3D printed Mold use

• Capacity of producing between 1 and a few hundreds of parts, depending on the requested thermoplastic material and part design

29

Injection Molding: Test box

Results

• Build time 2x faster than standard SLA (8,5 h)

• More than 250 parts injected in PP and POM (test stopped)

• 30 parts injected in PA 30%GlassFiber

Industrial Ceramics

Prototyping

Metal Casting

• Process similar to jewelry casting but with bigger patterns.

• Traditionally wax models are used to create the ceramic mold for metal casting.

• 3D printed parts with castable resins open new design possibilities for the production of high tech metal components

32

Metal Casting: 3D printing patterns

Burn-out process

• In a traditional mold building process, wax melts away.

• With the resin pattern, master has to be burned away.

Solution

• Special 3D preparation with hollow structures: Tetrashell ® Pattern

33

Metal Casting: 3D Value offer

Why foundries are interested in 3D printing?

• Speed : Foundry obtains directly the pattern eliminating 2 steps

• Freedom of design : Rapid prototyping allows creating more complex shapes

• Polished casted parts : Resin parts allows a high finishing degree

Applications (by importance)

• Aeronautics and engine manufacturer

• Orthopedics implants (Titanium)

• Oil –Well drilling equipment

• Military equipment

• Artcasting

34

Metal Casting

Tetrashell Pattern vs Wax

• Tetrashell is faster, more complex shapes

• 3D Material more expensive than wax

• Adaptation of foundry process required

35

Tetrashell Pattern vs Voxeljet (binder jetting)

• Tetrahsell has better surface finishing & better dimensional stability

• Material is more expensive
