On-Demand Webinars: Manufacturing & Prototyping

How Metal Additive Manufacturing Is Driving the Future of Tooling

SPONSORED BY:

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly growing technology used to create high-quality metal parts that were previously impossible to manufacture. Now, with access to larger format printers that feature build chambers over 500 mm across, engineers are looking at new possibilities for AM implementation. For applications like tooling inserts, larger systems offer an ideal solution in terms of size; however, there are still challenges to implementing the technology. Despite years of experience printing inserts on smaller systems, there remain significant hurdles to scaling up their designs.

This 60-minute Webinar will delve into the challenges of AM tooling and how advanced metal AM technology helps overcome them. It also will examine how the larger build plates give tooling designers access to larger format printing for die inserts with a quality surface finish — a full order of magnitude beyond what previously existed in the industry.

Topics include:

  • Introduction to AM tooling
  • Challenges of AM tooling
  • Benefits of AM tooling
  • Overcoming the challenges of AM tooling
  • Future of AM tooling

An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
