EWI recently worked with Action Mold & Machining Inc. to develop an injection mold tool with conformal cooling channels using the AM process laser powder bed fusion. The new tool demonstrated significant cycle time and mold surface temperature reductions. This innovation in tool production could have significant cost- and time-saving impact across all manufacturing sectors....

Design of experiments (DOE) tools help manufacturers assess and develop processing technologies for a wide range of applications. DOE approaches allow users to develop empirical maps correlating input factors to selected process responses. These maps can then be used to optimize processes for quality and performance. There are several key steps in creating a DOE,...
