Additively manufactured injection mould tooling incorporating gradient density lattice structures for mass and energy reduction

The benefits of reducing the mass of injection moulding (IM) tooling include opportunities to also reduce material and energy consumption of the Additive Manufacturing L-PBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) processes, leading to lower overall costs for the IM setup. This provides a competitive advantage an...
