Humanetics uses a Markforged X7 to print molds for thermoset plastics. Each mold must withstand significant clamping force while heated to 220 F.
Molded thermoset plastics are widely used to take advantage of their strength and heat deflection temperatures. The quick turnaround time, low production cost, and long lifetime of Markforged printed molds make them an excellent fit for replacing traditional thermoset molding methods. Printed thermoset molds can withstand temperatures up to 302°F (150°C) for extended periods of time with minimal distortion.
STRENGTH AND PRECISION— Humanetics uses a Markforged X7 to print molds for thermoset plastics.
EXTREME ENVIRONMENT — Each mold must withstand significant clamping force while heated to 220O F.
FAST LEAD TIMES — Onyx and HSHT printed molds replaced an inefficient, out-of-house silicone process.
MASSIVE SAVINGS — Humanetics prints molds 4x cheaper and 2.5x faster with Markforged technology.
