HBD Metal 3D printing transforms molding by enabling faster, more efficient production with innovative features like conformal cooling channels. These optimized internal cooling paths significantly reduce cycle times and enhance product quality, while improving durability and lowering costs.
How 3D Printing
is Making a Difference
Conformal Cooling for
Enhanced Heat Dissipation
- Advantage: 3D printing enables the design of conformal cooling channels that follow the mold geometry, improving heat dissipation efficiency.
- Problem Solved: Reduces cycle times, minimizes thermal stress, and improves product consistency by achieving uniform cooling across complex mold surfaces.
- Typical Application: Conformal Cooling Injection Mold
High-Efficiency Batch Production for
Precision Mold Components
- Advantage: LPBF technology enables rapid and precise batch manufacturing of intricate mold inserts and components.
- Problem Solved: Reduces lead times and machining costs for high-precision small mold components, improving overall production efficiency.
- Typical Application: Hot Runner Inserts
Microporous Structures for Ventilation
& Defect Reduction
- Advantage: Producing metal molds with integrated micropores improves air permeability to improve gas evacuation and prevent molding defects.
- Problem Solved: Eliminates issues like trapped air, burns, and surface defects in molded parts, enhancing mold performance and product quality.
- Typical Application: Air-Venting Shoe Mold
High-Resolution Surface Texturing for
Complex Patterns
- Advantage: Direct printing of intricate textures onto mold surfaces eliminates the need for secondary etching or machining.
- Problem Solved: Reduces processing steps and enables highly detailed textures with consistent quality, even for complex geometries.
- Typical Application: Aluminum Alloy Patterned Sole Mold
