Making Impossible Parts: Injection Molding & 3D Printing Combined for Complex Shapes

Carsten Jarfelt (CEO, AddiFab Inc.)

Location: Center Stage

Date: Thursday, February 13

Time: 10:15am - 11:00am

Track: Center Stage

Vault Recording: TBD

Producing parts with complex geometries can be difficult, if not impossible, using traditional injection molding methods. By combining Freeform Injection Molding (FIM) with 3D printing, manufacturing engineers are able to attain high repeatability and precision.
Topics covered include:

  • Explore why this method is good for complex, short series injection molding
  • How combining the design freedom of 3D printing with the accepted material portfolio of injection molding provides advantages
  • How FIM is a way of getting products to market faster
