Mold manufacturers talk about 3D printing molds

The conformal cooling of 3D printing metal mold has been happening for many years. From the initial suspicion to the subsequent trial, 3D printing metal mold is now recognized by many customers. In 2017, Antarctic bears had a previous survey report, in which they made a high estimate of the 3D printing metal mold sales market. "In the next 10 years, China must have 1500 metal 3D printers in the mold field". At that time, the vast majority of metal 3D printing manufacturers were still selling machinery and equipment to scientific research institutions, but now this trend has been shown.

The mold manufacturer showed several metal 3D printing mold inserts. The material of the printing mold is 18Ni300. The 1:1 transparent parts placed on the edge of the metal mold show the cooling passage of the mold internal structure. It can be clearly seen that the molds manufactured with 3D printers can have complicated conformal cooling channels. In the process of injection molding production, the molds can be more evenly and rapidly cooled, the productivity can be improved, and the service life of the molds can be increased.

Mold manufacturer: "Metal 3D printing mold has been recognized by the market for a long time, and the demand is growing at this stage. Hanbang Technology has rich and colorful work experience in the metal 3D printing mold industry, and can provide customers with a full set of solutions."

The conformal cooling method of injection molding is different from the traditional cooling method. The shape of the cooling water path changes with the appearance of the injection molding products, and it will no longer be the traditional parallel line. The 3D printing technology can prevent the limitation of cross drilling in the production and manufacturing of cooling channels. The 3D printed conformal cooling channels can also develop different cooling control circuit design schemes according to the cooling regulations, so as to conduct heat removal with consistent efficiency, so as to promote the balance of heat removal.

For mold manufacturers, because the quality of the mold immediately affects the efficiency of injection molding production, and makes decisions on product quality, and thus on the added value of commodities, how to efficiently cool the plastic products in the Z small cycle becomes the main factor to be considered in the mold design scheme and production link of conformal cooling injection molding processing, and cooling plays a crucial role in this period
