"The whole process speed is amazing. We use the Objet 500 Co Nnex 3D manufacturing system, we can in 6 hours to create a mold cavity for forming polymer components, which requires 24 hours before."Recently, more and more companies try to use more advanced 3D printing technology, to simplify mouldProduction process.

HASCO is the leading European service and molding mould manufacturing company, is considered to be the standard mold makers in europe. The company has recently developed a quick die change system, the injection molding manufacturers can quickly and effectively replace the mold, to reduce the time and cost of their reduction machine. Especially the use of mold 3D printer to print out the Stratasys company, makes the whole process cheaper, faster, cheaper prototype, sample making, or small batch production cost reasonable.
This injection mold using Stratasys Objet 500 Connex 3D printer to print out, the mould is using ultra durable digital ABS material of the company. Objet 500 Connex is not only one of the multi material 3D printer on the market the most advanced, but also a very fast printing machine. The 3D print mold, instead of using aluminum for milling, the mould manufacturing time is greatly reduced, but also can be fast and economical to adjust the prototype and mould. HASCO said that when 3D and K3500 printing mold quick die change system combination, set a new benchmark for the prototype of low cost and small batch injection molding.
"The whole process speed is amazing. 500 Connex 3D manufacturing system using our Objet, we can in 6 hours to create a mold cavity for forming polymer components, which requires 24 hours before. Through the trial and test for standard HASCO products and advanced Stratasys 3D printing technology, this technology has proved that rapid innovation can be used in injection molding process. For the use of small batch production of the final product prototype material, realize the quick die cavity with 3D printing, is an alternative to the traditional way of rapid economic." HASCO executive vice president Dirk Paulmann confirmed.
Paulmann said that with the market and the production cycle is shorter because of less number of customers are looking for solutions, which can quickly and economically and efficiently provide the prototype. With the traditional metal or aluminum inserts are compared using the new method can make the mold production exchange and mold manufacturers achieve flexible and fast, the efficiency and higher profitability. The advanced technology of HASCO in the traditional mold manufacturing long experience with the Stratasys company in 3D printing injection mold combination with the best technology is the prototype and small batch production in the future.
