Freeform Injection Molding Creates Mold Cavities with High-Performance Materials

摘要

AddiFab has been working on freeform injection molding (FIM), a unique blend of AM and injection molding, and now the company is ready to step into the spotlight. The FIM technology is deceptively simple, yet extremely versatile. According to the company, the proprietary platform is used to create injection mold cavities, which are tough enough to process reinforced PEEK and other high-performance materials. They are also dissolvable, which enables injection-molding components that are too complex for conventional tooling.
