Design Considerations When Using Additive Manufacturing For Tooling Applications

Tips and Tricks for Designing Manufacturing Tools with FDM or Extrusion Based 3D Printing Technology

after the build composite tools

Design your Tooling for Additive Manufacturing 

This guide provides tips and tricks, as well as best practices for designing manufacturing tooling intended to be 3D printed with an extrusion based technology. There are many benefits to producing your tools with FDM 3D printing and Stratasys industrial grade Fortus 3D printers, including faster tool production, lower cost and greater control over customization and weight. Get the guide today and reinvent what a tool room should be.

In this guide we will explore:

  • Engineering and design requirements for tooling
  • How to design for FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printing technology
  • Leveraging design freedom for higher customization
  • FEA optimization
  • Various considerations, such as load, chemical compatibility, and temperature
