The advantages of metal 3D printing in mold manufacturing are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. High degree of design freedom:

Complex structure molding: It can easily manufacture complex shapes and internal structures that are difficult to achieve with traditional processing methods.

Integration of manufacturing: Can achieve integrated molding, reducing the assembly parts of the mold and assembly links.

2. Shorten the production cycle:

Rapid prototyping: Printing directly based on the three-dimensional model, greatly reducing the production time of the mold.

Parallel manufacturing: Multiple molds can be printed at the same time, further improving production efficiency.

3. Reduce costs:

Reduce material waste: Using layer-by-layer stacking for manufacturing, only the required metal materials are used, avoiding a large amount of material cutting and chipping in the traditional processing methods, reducing the cost of raw materials.

Simplify the process: Eliminating multiple links in traditional mold manufacturing, reducing labor costs and equipment costs.

4. Improve product quality:

High-precision manufacturing: Through accurate digital control and laser melting technology to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the mold.

Optimization of performance: Metal 3D printing can be used according to the requirements of the mold, select the appropriate metal materials and printing parameters to improve the service life of the mold and the production quality of the product.

5.  Suitable for small batch production and customized production.
