Abstract
The production of inserts for micro injection moulding using additive manufacturing technology has the potential to greatly improve the efficiency of pilot production and reduce overall time to market. In this work, Digital Light Processing (DLP) was used to produce micro injection moulding inserts with different types of geometric features. The dimensional accuracy of the mould inserts and workpieces as well as insert durability and mould wearing were investigated and statistically analysed. The mould developed clearly visible cracks but remained in one piece until the experiment ended after 50 shots.
