Advantage Engineering Inc.

3D metal printing for components to help conformal cooling

FY 2021-22 · 2021-05-10

Summary
Advantage is targeting to have the capability of using 3D printing to provide for the manufacturing of components (e.g. lifters, slides, inserts and small molds) that can struggle to get cooling line in their manufacture. With the incorporation of 3D we can add water lines and lights weight components to help gain cooling in the areas that will allow reduced cycle times in which this would need extra time in the cooling stage of the injection molding process. A quicker cycle means more parts per hour which would then mean a reduced piece prices to customers.

Description (French)
Advantage vise à avoir la capacité d'utiliser l'impression 3D pour assurer la fabrication de composantes (par exemple, des élévateurs, des glissières, des inserts et des petits moules) qui peuvent avoir du mal à obtenir une ligne de refroidissement dans leur fabrication. Avec l'incorporation de la technologie 3D, nous pouvons ajouter des conduites d'eau et des composantes légères pour aider à obtenir un refroidissement dans les zones qui permettront de réduire les temps de cycle, ce qui nécessiterait un temps supplémentaire dans l'étape de refroidissement du procédé de moulage par injection. Un cycle plus rapide signifie plus de pièces par heure, ce qui se traduit par une réduction du prix des pièces pour les clients.
