mold steel material

In recent years, 3D printing technology has been hyped up. Experts talk about the magic of 3D printing products and declare that the mold steel material industry is in the dead end. What do you think of 3D printing technology?

why do we as steel professionals listen to certain boasts? They don’t even know what the mold steel material is, they just talk about it when they see that 3D printing can make a product. The significance of industrial molds is to achieve high-volume and efficient production, and greatly reduce the production of finished products. 3D printing currently only solves the production of a small number of samples, and its efficiency and cost are not a level compared with mold production.

Although, 3D printing has brought innovation and vitality to the mold manufacturing industry. Because the trial product can be obtained and confirmed in advance through 3D printing, this reduces repeated mold changes after mold opening and the failure of the mold project.

some publicity claims that 3D printing can directly print molds, that is just to show you the principle of presenting molds. It should be said to be a “model”. You can use this model to make some products, but can it be mass-produced. So the mold steel material industry plays an irreplaceable role in mold contribution. 3D printing technology has been out for many years, and I don’t know why it has been so hot recently! 3D printing is a promising technology. We need to treat it correctly. There is no need to exclude it, but it cannot be confused by some artifacts …
