CONSTRUCTIVE, DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE DESIGN OF INJECTION MOLDS MADE WITH ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHODS
Abstract
The work is intended to be a study on the technological possibilities of injection moulds for plastic, but also metal materials through additive manufacturing. This is structured in four chapters, starting from the theoretical and constructive considerations of the components of such a plastic deformation processing process and then analysing the main mould generation technologies that can be used to achieve the final goal. Finally, the design procedures for small-sized injection moulds are analysed, but they can also be medium-sized designed by the same process. The results obtained in this way will be concretized in laboratory studies where, both from the point of view of the material used to make the moulds, and of the one that will be injected inside them, the way of evolution and the dimensional and mechanical characteristics of the made landmarks will be followed.
