Abstract
This paper is focused on the production plastic parts. It is describing two technologies-injection moulding and additive technology. The production process of the metal mould for the new parts takes about ten weeks. It is necessary to make some reductions after the mould is produced. It is increasing the time which is necessary for the prototype of products. This time (from the initial design of mould to the prototype of product) can take about six months. Additive technologies can be used for decreasing this time and for cost reduction. Moulds produced by the additive technology are mostly special inserts which can be implemented in the universal design of mould. It is also possible to produce whole moulds from plastic material. These moulds can have integrated cooling channels. There are high demands on the material of the mould with respect to the thermal resistivity, toughness and surface quality. There are really often used SLA technologies, which are considering the High Temp Resin and Material Jetting Digital ABS. Other options used in the factories are Somos PerFORM and Digital ABS Plus. This paper deals with the possibility of usage of the HP Jet Fusion technology with the material PA12 GB for the production of mould inserts and it is evaluating this process and repeatability of process.
