Additive manufacturing in Tooling & Molds is the use of additive manufacturing for tooling and mold inserts: primarily injection-mold conformal-cooling cores, jigs and fixtures, and hybrid AM-machined tool steels.
Why AM fits Tooling & Molds: Tooling is one of the most economically compelling AM applications. Conformal-cooling channels in injection-mold cores (impossible to produce subtractively) reduce cycle times 15–40%. Hybrid AM-CNC machine tools (Mazak Integrex, DMG Mori Lasertec) have moved AM tooling production from specialty service bureaus into general manufacturing.
Common AM processes: PBF-LB for tool steel inserts, MEX for jigs and fixtures, DED-LB for mold repair. Typical materials: H13 tool steel, M2 / M4 high-speed steel, maraging steel, PA12 / ULTEM for fixtures.
