The reasons for a high-gloss finish in plastic molding vary. Some examples include extreme transparency of the molded part, reduced localized corrosion or highly crack-sensitive tooling (due to design or operational stresses). Then there is the impact of mold surface finish on injection molding productivity, as the release forces of the plastic part from the [...]
3D printing provides a significant advantage by enabling users to quickly produce prototype mold and die inserts and short-run manufacturing of complex designs. However, years of testing reveal that specialized, porous mold steels can compete with today’s metal 3D printed steels, yielding a more consistent, stronger product with improved venting performance. Ultimately, the best manufacturing [...]
