Abstract

The recent developments in the field of metal additive manufacturing (MAM) within dimensional accuracy and surface quality are enabling the adoption of MAM for direct hard tooling for polymer processing applications. An analysis of the potential improvements in terms of lead-time and cost reduction achieved by implementation of MAM for tooling has been performed in the case of polymer extrusion die manufacturing. It was found that the utilization of MAM for tooling resulted in a die manufacturing cost comparable to conventional machining as well as a die production lead-time reduction from 12 weeks (for conventional machining) down to 3 weeks.
