Metal Additive Manufacturing of Plastic Injection Molds with Conformal Cooling Channels

Metal Additive Manufacturing of Plastic Injection Molds with Conformal Cooling Channels

Conformal cooling channels (CCCs) are widely used in the plastic injection molding process to improve the product quality and operational performance. Tooling that incorporates CCCs can be fabricated through metal additive manufacturing (MAM). The present work focuses on the MAM of a plastic injecti...
