From 3D Printing to Thermoforming Tools – Efficient Solutions with ALWA MOULD D
Silvio Piperato from GeNull developed a model car using additive manufacturing. The structure consisted of 3D-printed and bonded parts, including integrated 3D-printed core displacers to strategically reduce material usage during casting.
The fully assembled model was then cast with ALWA MOULD D, resulting in a high-precision positive mold ready for immediate use in the thermoforming process.
Benefits of this combination:
-
Fast mold production directly from the 3D-printed model
-
High level of detail without extensive post-processing
-
Material efficiency through targeted use of core displacers
-
No post-curing required, the tool is ready for use immediately
The combination of 3D printing and MOULD D opens up new possibilities for prototype and small series production. Especially for custom designs or iterative development processes, this method saves time, material, and cost, without compromising on tooling quality.
We are happy to advise you on your specific application!
