Heavy duty die casting tool conformal cooling
- heavy duty die casting tool conformal cooling
Die casting tool lead times are typically 6 to 10 weeks and limitations in cycle time drive profitability. High temperatures and pressures require of hot work tool steel.
Solution
- End to end metal AM solution, Metco powder, OAM printing, machining, heat treatment
- Design for AM, internal lattice structures reduce mass
- 1.2344 (H13) material, printed at elevated temperature to mitigate cracking
Impact
- Lead time reduced to 10 days print time + post-processing
- Crack free construction on hard to print alloy
- 28% mass reduction by eliminating unnecessary internal material
- Reduced cycle time with optimized cooling
- Only possible with AM
