As molds continue to be more complex and resins more demanding for cooling and venting, the need for additive manufacturing in the tooling industry will continue to grow in importance. Join Jason Murphy, NXC Manufacturing, as he demonstrates how proper deployment of additive manufacturing within the process will eliminate common defects like gas traps, gate blush and warp. Through the use of real-world case studies, attendees will learn how eliminating defects ensures a quicker mold approval, better profitability for mold builders and molders, and leads to a distinctive competitive advantage within the marketplace.

Topics of discussion include:

• New developments in additive tooling – materials, process, durability
• Case studies of successful solutions for complex mold cooling and venting
• Adaptation of additive tooling from a mold builder’s perspective
• Elimination of cost and lead time in the mold building workflow
• Efficient workholding solutions to eliminate setup and machining time   

Members: No Cost. Non-Members: $25.
