Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing technique for the mass production of different parts, ranging from very small components for medicine to entire body panels of cars. The design of the mold plays a critical role in this process as it determines the shape and features of the parts to be produced. The mold (mostly made of iron, bronze or aluminium) must be carefully designed with high precision to ensure durability, availability and high cycle times.

HAIDLMAIR as a global market leader in the mold production for beverage crates and storage-/logistics container uses Additive Manufacturing and computed tomography (CT) for the innovation of their molds. In this webinar CT-specialist Sara Furtner will explain how CT contributes to the design and test of the molds, thereby improving quality and properties.

What you will learn:

• How Additive Manufacturing improves crucial parts in the injection molding process
• How CT uncovers defects and allows conclusions on the printing process
• Practical examples of CT analyses of different parts
