Convergence of Traditional Manufacturing and 3D Printing

In the field of mold manufacturing, 3D printing technology has significantly improved cooling efficiency and product yields thanks to its innovations in the design of follow-through waterways. However, how to utilize the advantages of 3D printing while saving further printing costs is the focus of the industry. Graft printing technology, as a solution to this challenge, is being widely used.

3D printing technology leads the efficient transformation of mold manufacturing

Grafting printing is a 3D printing process, which skillfully integrates the advantages of traditional processing methods and 3D printing technology, and is particularly suitable for the manufacture of large, complex structural products. In this technology, one part of the product is manufactured through traditional processing methods such as cutting and casting to ensure the strength and stable performance of the external structure; while the other part is completed through 3D printing to realize the rapid and precise manufacturing of the complex internal structure.

Shorten the cooling cycle by 30

In mold manufacturing, the application of graft printing technology is particularly prominent. For the heat accumulation area in the mold, the 3D printing technology can be used to design the follower water circuit to optimize the cooling effect; while in the area with less heat accumulation, the traditional water circuit design can be used. This hybrid manufacturing method not only effectively improves the cooling efficiency of the mold, but also significantly reduces the printing cost, compared to the full printing method, the cost savings can be up to 2/3 or more.

Grafted 3D Printing Technology

In addition, grafted printing technology also brings a significant increase in production efficiency, shortening the time to market and enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises in the market. At the same time, the products made by this technology have better performance and longer service life, which meets the market demand for high-quality products.

In summary, graft printing technology with its efficient and economic advantages, in the field of metal 3D printing has been widely used, is an important driver of the transformation and upgrading of the mold manufacturing industry.
