Using Additive Manufacturing for Ancillary Tooling

Additive Manufacturing Makes Sense

FDM technology is proving itself as a cost-effective solution for composite tooling. But it’s also a great choice for the ancillary tools used to post-process the resultant composite parts, Discover the advantages of FDM technology for ancillary tooling, outlined in this guide. In addition to example applications, you’ll learn important considerations for tool design such as:

• Correct material selection
• Orientation of the tool when printing
• Incorporation of inserts and ergonomic features
• Design considerations and best practices
