Formnext 2015 additive manufacturing eye-catching to create a unique mold

The formnext 2015 exhibition, which will be held in Frankfurt, Germany from November 17th to 20th, will show visitors the great potential of additive manufacturing for production. The organizers said that the latest research results show that additive manufacturing will be used for faster products. Development and manufacturing. Not only that, but the hybrid manufacturing technology of additive manufacturing and traditional metal cutting also brings a new product manufacturing solution.

Formnext will demonstrate the development and production of a new generation of products through additive processing of additive manufacturing and traditional processes. Whether it is sintering, conformal cooling or a new generation of molds, innovative technologies in the process chain bring valuable value to the audience. Information and opportunities to build partnerships to increase competitiveness and reduce time to market. In addition to the demonstration of professional additive manufacturing equipment manufacturers, it also brings a unique manufacturing technology demonstration of the solution provider.

Faster, more flexible, richer new materials, hybrid technology using traditional technology and additive manufacturing technology for mold manufacturing will be the highlight of formnext 2015, including special Audi tooling special exhibition for cars Industry product development brings unique insights to showcase its global automotive manufacturing leadership and vision for future automotive production technologies.

Ecoparts Switzerland's Ecoparts company specializes in additive manufacturing and tool manufacturing, specializes in the production of injection molded parts, and has a fixed relationship with mold manufacturing companies in Europe and overseas.

As shown below, Ecoparts will demonstrate the use of hybrid manufacturing techniques for hot runner gate systems: the lower half is through conventional turning technology and the upper half is reserved for internal cooling through additive manufacturing technology.

Ecoparts will showcase injection mold inserts based on existing mold segments

The Fraunhofer IPT will also showcase new additive manufacturing technologies. The ventopt project involves the use of laser additive manufacturing technology to pre-set the air duct in the injection mold, which not only has a short manufacturing cycle, but also improves the quality of the parts. This solution was also the first time Fraunhofer IPT was presented at formnext 2015.

LAMY's outstanding writing instrument brand LAMY has been using additive technology for more than five years and will showcase its precision mold manufacturing technology that makes it a top brand in Germany, including the use of additive manufacturing technology to create mold-shaped cooling channels or cores, LAMY also sees With the further development of new materials, especially alloy material technology, additive manufacturing technology is very useful in the field of conformal cooling channels.
