常见问题解答
Q1. How many times can a 3D printed injection mold be used?
There is a great variance in the number of cycles for which resin molds can serve -- from 10 to 200, on the other hand metal 3D molds could reach even 1000 - 5000. Factors like plastic hardness, injection pressure as well as post processing influence the lifespan greatly.
Q2. What is the precision of a 3D printed mold?
Overall, resin molds have a precision level of 0.1mm, whereas metal 3D molds can have a precision of 0.05mm, while locating pin mating surfaces are 0.02mm, which is generally good enough for most product requirements.
Q3. What happens if the injection pressure exceeds 30MPa?
If the injection pressure gets higher than 30MPa then the risk of interlayer cracking in resin molds could raise up to 40%. In that case, it is advisable to go for metal 3D molds or conventional steel molds.
Q4. How much lower is the unit cost of a 3D printed mold compared to a traditional steel mold?
Simply put, the unit price of a 3D printed mold per piece is 60%-70% less than a traditional steel mold for 100 pieces, while the difference shrinks to 30%-50% for batches of 1000 pieces.
Q5. Are conformal cooling channels really effective?
In reality, conformal cooling channels have actually led to 40%-60% reductions in cooling times, which in turn have shortened the injection molding cycle and led to an improvement in the quality of product surfaces.
Q6. Which injection molding materials do you support?
We offer a diverse range of injection molding materials like ABS PC PP, PE, and PA66. Depending on the requirements, we help customers choose the most appropriate material.
Q7. How many days does it take from sending drawings to receiving samples?
It usually takes 2-3 days to produce resin mold samples after sending drawings, whereas for metal molds, it takes 5-7 days, which covers mold printing, post processing, and producing 50 injection molded samples.
Q8. Can you help us design molds?
Yes, customers should first supply a CAD model of the product to which our designers will carry out the entire mold designing work based on the product's configuration and materials.
摘要
3D printed injection molds go beyond the existing limitations of the industry. At the heart of it, it is about turning the expense of pre-installed molds into pay-as-you-go, thus enabling customers to finish product validation and small scale production rapidly and affordably.
It is the best choice for a project that hardly requires 20 iterations or a batch size of not more than 2,000 pieces, as it reduces 60%-80% of initial cost. When combined with comprehensive injection molding services, it delivers a one stop realization.
If you're facing difficulties with the costs and lead times being high due to the traditional mold modifications, then you should probably start thinking about going for 3D printed injection molds.
