Carl & Brian walk through examples of how they’ve used industrial 3D printing (additive manufacturing) to drive innovation in projects using low pressure molding methods such as thermoforming. You’ll see examples where traditional molds were modified with 3D printed components in order to enhance features and test design changes during real time production. When additive is used this way and in this part of the process, it can help product development teams fuel innovation and make better, more strategic decisions.https://dilabs.cc/00:00 Intro03:33 Additive isn’t always the best solution04:05 Early thermoforming mold05:26 Glass bead reinforced nylon 1207:13 Traditional manufacturing10:48 Different testing approaches11:45 Product changes in real time– modified molds12:19 Scheduling production down time15:30 Balancing desired outcome with economics16:14 Our approach– understanding the whole picture17:14 What validating thermoforming can achieve19:32 Demonstrating use of additively produced components21:46 Thermoforming in process demonstration23:21 Improve product with existing tooling24:24 Inserts attached to the mold to change geometries in real time30:24 Marrying technologies to drive a decision32:13 HP Multi Jet Fusion is the primary resource35:40 Change is part of our
