Several methods of applying rapid prototyping technology to make molds?
Traditional mold making technology is mostly based on (master mold) using replication methods (such as casting, spraying, electroforming, composite material pouring, etc.) to manufacture the main working parts of the mold (concave and convex mold or cavity, mold core).
The traditional molding technology can be summarized as follows: ① low melting point (Bi-Sn) alloy molding technology; ② zinc-based alloy molding technology; ③ composite material molding technology; ④ spray molding molding technology; ⑤ electroforming Molding technology; ⑥ Copper-based alloy molding technology, etc.
The application of rapid prototyping manufacturing technology in mold manufacturing can be divided into direct mold making and indirect mold making.
1) Direct molding is to use SLS, FDM, LOM and other rapid molding process methods to directly manufacture molds such as resin molds, ceramic molds, and metal molds.
