Design for additive manufacturing of plastic injection tool inserts with maintenance and economic considerations: An automotive study case

Additive Manufacturing (AM) allows a simpler and easier production of geometrically complex parts in a single step and with no specific tooling. Hence, it is mostly used for low series or customized products. Accordingly, using AM to produce tools and dies with higher quality could be an economic al...
