At the recent Amerimold expo, I spoke with Gary Bailey of XLAForm about a fast moldmaking process that doesn’t rely on machining. The process involves creating the mold tooling on a prototyping machine such as a ZPrinter, then infusing this 3D printed tool to make it strong enough for injection molding. As Mr. Bailey explains in the video, turnaround time can be a couple of days.
The MMC Mini-Mini collet chuck is well suited for high-speed machining applications where clearance is needed, such as die mold, aerospace and medical parts.
A new process delivered through what looks like a standard machining center promises to streamline machining of injection mold cores and cavities and even answer the declining availability of toolmakers.
