The Performance of 3D Printed Polymer Tools in Sheet Metal Forming

The Performance of 3D Printed Polymer Tools in Sheet Metal Forming

Additively manufactured polymer tools are evaluated for use in metal forming as prototype tools and in the attempt to make sheet metal more attractive to small production volumes. Printing materials, strategies and accuracies are presented before the tools and tested in V-bending and groove pressing...
