Injection moulds direct by laser - New material for shortening the laser-sintering process chain
New products must reach the market faster and faster. Often, the mould construction stage is the stumbling block to market release. Laser-sintered prototype moulds are already shortening development phases considerably. Now, there is a new material available that makes it possible to use laser-sintered moulds for all phases of the product life cycle. Short runs of 100,000 injection-moulded parts can be made with it.
