Digitized Precision Molds: Conformal Cooling Channels and Metal 3D Printing Services

 

Metal 3D Printing and Conformal Cooling Mold Technology

To overcome the bottleneck of traditional mold cooling efficiency, GDI introduced Japan'sSodick OPM250L /LPM325metal 3D printing system. Combined with professionalmold flow analysis (Moldflow)

Conformal Cooling Channel Structure

  • Core Technology Advantages:Mold Flow Analysis Driven Design:

  • Through data simulation in the early stages of development, we accurately predict cooling efficiency, optimize conformal cooling channel configurations, and reduce the risk of product deformation and shrinkage.Conformal Cooling Channels:

  • Utilizing metal 3D printing to break traditional processing limitations, enabling cooling channels to conform to product shapes, thereby increasing cooling efficiency by over 30%.Shortened Production Cycle:

  • Efficient cooling significantly reduces the injection molding cycle time, helping clients achieve faster mass production rhythms.Precision Additive Manufacturing:

  • Utilizing high-quality metal powders to produce high-hardness, high-precision mold steel bodies, ensuring long mold life and stable mass production.Uniform temperature control effectively solves surface shrinkage (indentation) and uneven stress issues, improving product dimensional accuracy and visual aesthetics.
