Heat Dissipation Plays Critical Role for Longevity of Polymer-Based 3D-Printed Inserts for Plastics Injection Moulding

Heat Dissipation Plays Critical Role for Longevity of Polymer-Based 3D-Printed Inserts for Plastics Injection Moulding

Injection moulding is a polymer processing method of choice for making plastic parts on industrial scale, but its traditional mould is made from tooling steel with time-consuming and costly production. Additive manufacturing technologies arise as an alternative for creating mould inserts at lower co...
