DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING, USING CONFORMAL COOLING, FOR HIGH VOLUME PRODUCTION TOOLING
Existing techniques to manufacture conventional tool steel inserts for the plastic injection moulding process are expensive and time-consuming.Complex mould inserts, difficult to manufacture with conventional processes, can be produced using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) with Maraging tool steel (MS1).MS1 is an additive manufacturing (AM) mat
