Specification Requirement on Metal 3D Printing for Molding Manufacturing
Metal 3D Printing for Molding Manufacturing
Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, metal 3D printing mold manufacturing has several advantages, including more complex geometric shapes, rapid manufacturing and customization. When printing molds, following items need to be taken into consideration:
Strength and hardness: the mold needs sufficient strength and hardness capability to carry the pressure during the processing, so as to guarantee the mold's life cycle.
Wear resistance: It's unavoidable that the mold would be in touch with other material, that's why it requires the material with a certain level of wear resistance.
Corrosion Resistance: In the processing of the molding, the mold would meet various chemical materials. To ensures its long term stability, the mold material must has good corrosion resistance.
Heat Stability: In the manufacturing process, the mold needs to be withstand extreme temperature to avoid deforming and destruction.
