What are the benefits of 3D printing core-pulling inserts and sliders for metal molds?

For the direct metal 3D printing mold, it is very feasible to lift the core insert and slider of the special-shaped cooling water channel mold. Compared with the traditional method, the production efficiency and benefit will be greatly improved. Because 3D printing technology will not be constrained by the internal structure and complex shape of the product in the manufacturing process, it can be closer to the outline of the product by designing and processing the complex conformal cooling water channel inside the mold. The conformal cooling water channel can provide good heat dissipation efficiency for the dead corner of the general product or the area where heat is not easy to be discharged, which has an incomparable cooling effect with traditional water channels. 3D printing technology can easily realize the production and manufacture of high-end molds, and then bring unparalleled benefits to the mass production of final products:

1, effectively shortening the cooling time in the process of injection molding or die casting, reducing the demoulding rate and molding cycle, greatly improving production efficiency, improving productivity aging and quality yield by 30~70%.

2. Problems such as residual stress and warpage will not occur due to shortened time, effectively reducing product defects such as warpage deformation, cracking flash, bubble sand holes, and obviously improving the quality and yield of final products; ?

3. The service life of the mould is greatly prolonged, and the unit cost of the product is reduced? . The newly developed powder can not only provide better quality plastic injection molds to make millions of plastic products, but also make high-strength molds that cast metal products tens of thousands of times.

The hardness of 3D printed die after tempering can reach 52-56HRC, and the surface can be polished with high light.
