Hybrid tooling design
Instead of turning, milling, and drilling, the shaping area of the injection molding tool is manufactured using additive manufacturing methods. This allows production costs to be reduced by a factor of ten. The more complex the tool design, the greater the cost advantages. Additionally, the production time is reduced from several months to just a few days.
More resources for what truly matters
By using a dissolvable resin, the printed molds can be dissolved in a solvent after the injection process, eliminating the need for a complex demolding concept. As a result, the tooling design is significantly simplified, allowing resources to be saved during the product development phase.
Experience with various resins
Whether the printed mold inserts are dissolved after use or serve as permanent molds for small-scale production, Wantec Solutions has many years of experience with various resins. These resins are used for manufacturing materials such as PA 66 GF25%, PEEK, and silicone, as well as in processes like metal and ceramic powder injection molding.
