Every Moldmaker’s Headaches

For all companies, the generation of sufficient revenues is a process highly correlated with the company’s survival, no matter the product or the service it offers to its customers. The Mold Making industry can measure this by using time reduction, simplifying of the process and Customer Satisfaction, which are straightforward indicators. Higher customer satisfaction and lower process times certainly leads to higher revenues especially by using 3d printing to molding. We all know that a professional mold maker is characterized by the level of skill as well as, the amount of personal work and knowledge that can be applied to a mold. As many of you know, every client has unique taste and inquiries that usually bring headache to makers.

The best solution

As I was talking with people expert mold makers, the thing that an expert mold maker is trying to avoid is waiting during the prototyping phase but also to create mold with extreme detailing. I was preoccupied with these specific needs and came up with a viable and innovative solution using our 3d printing technology.

Our technology and skills can create unique items for use in silicone molds to create the original disposable castings from the digital designs. Having the digital files from our clients we manage to create a number of prototypes and test the dimensional accuracy and the details before we start making the silicone molds. After dealing with the necessary adjustments the prototypes where ready for molding and casting. This process can solve any problems and reduce time and effort. Thus, the mold maker can test, increase detailing and even produce small product series without sacrificing their art and precision and significantly reduce the production cycle time.

Too Complicated?

It is very easy to be overwhelmed with the possibilities and concepts and get lost in a field where knowledge, skills and creativity are dominant. Each technology and industry has its unique advantages but also specific requirements. These requirements can easily act as inhibitors for using the 3D Printing technology. This is because a mold maker must know the limitations and the capabilities of this new technology as well as the skills that someone must use, like know to sketch, design and use a 3d printer. Although, everything can be learned (as any other skill) the decisive factors are time and manufacturing expertise that come with the actual manufacturing process. These factors are discouraging the mold maker experts to avoid using this awesome process and try (as the most reasonable professionals) to simplify their work process.
