3D Printed Molds – Getting Mass Production Potential From Your 3D Printer!

When you think of molds, you immediately think of CNC, EDM machined metal dies, or the type that grows on old cheese, right? In terms of manufacturing, molds are expensive to make and are built for a product’s mass production cycle lifetime. Typically, you offset this expense with the revenue generated from the large volume of casted parts…. But what about low-to-mid volumes? This webinar answers the question: How can you reduce mold-making costs? Topics we cover include: -Mold prototyping -Different molding techniques -Examining mold performance and part quality -Freedom to iterate your part/mold design -Reduce mold-making costs -Case studies Learn more about MLC CAD Systems training solutions here: 💥https://www.mlc-cad.com/training Let us do the heavy lifting for you: 💥https://www.mlc-cad.com/services/ SOLIDWORKS Implementation Services, Data Migration, CAD Servers, CAM Post Process Services, Hosting Solutions, & more!
