Many people assume this, but these older forms of production still have their advantages.

Simply put, FIM speeds up injection molding by 3D printing the molds into which the materials are injected. Why do this when additive manufacturing itself can be so fast? The fact is that injection molding is a very fast technology &#8211; and an effective one, especially when it comes to producing large quantities. In addition, injection molding is compatible with many more materials than can currently be produced using 3D printing.<\/p>\n<p>However, the most time-consuming &#8211; and costly &#8211; part of injection molding is the production of the molds or tools. Companies often outsource this production, which can take weeks or even months. By 3D printing the molds, this time is reduced to hours.<\/p>\n<p>Another important aspect of freeform injection molding is the fact that the molds are soluble &#8211; they can be dissolved, resulting in a molded part of unprecedented complexity. As Addifab puts it, FIM allows for &#8220;invisible design freedom&#8221; &#8211; you can design anything you want and it will appear when the mold essentially melts away.<\/p>\n<p>The printed molds are also extremely good insulators; they do not extract any heat from the liquid material that is injected. This means that you can switch on an injection molding machine and start working within a few minutes instead of setting parameters and waiting for temperature adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Addifab entered into a partnership with Nexa3D to use our industrial NXE 400 3D printing platform to print injection molds. Due to the size and speed of the NXE 400, FIM is now many times faster and can work on a truly industrial scale.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:20px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" title=\"Addifab-x-Nexa3D-51-300&#215;240\" src=\"https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-51-300x240-1.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-51-300x240-1.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-4397\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27300%27%20height%3D%27240%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20300%20240%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27300%27%20height%3D%27240%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-51-300x240-1-200x160.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-51-300x240-1.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>&#8220;What we have achieved with Nexa3D is a dramatic scale-up,&#8221; said Lasse Staal, Addifab Co-Founding CEO. &#8220;This is something that will really change what we can do with free-form injection molding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Free-form injection molding begins with a CAD file of the part to be cast. The design is then converted into a mold, a process that is further accelerated by automated software that Addifab calls a &#8220;mold generator&#8221;. The user or customer then evaluates the mold design and can quickly make changes and repeat new versions if the first version is not satisfactory. Once the customer is satisfied, the mold is 3D printed and post-processed, followed by the actual injection molding.<\/p>\n<p>With this process, a design can go from file to finished part within 24 hours. On average, the entire iteration cycle takes about one to three days and can be tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than if the tools had to be ordered elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Addifab explains that they are not trying to outdo injection molding, but rather to be comparable in terms of speed. The NXE 400 makes this a reality. For example, Addifab can 3D print a small mold cavity on one of its machines in around two minutes. The NXE 400 can print the same part in 15 seconds. Added to this is the size of the NXE 400&#8217;s build chamber, which not only allows larger parts to be printed, but also a larger volume of parts, meaning that the FIM process can be scaled up considerably.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:20px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"487\" title=\"Addifab-x-Nexa3D-48-2\" src=\"https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-48-2.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-48-2.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-4400\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27649%27%20height%3D%27487%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20649%20487%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27649%27%20height%3D%27487%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-48-2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-48-2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-48-2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mexa3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Addifab-x-Nexa3D-48-2.jpg 649w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Addifab still uses metal tools where necessary, but by combining metal tools and freeform injection molding, the company has created the best of both worlds.
