Insight: Multi-Cavity Tools

By Protolabs
schedule9th Jun 20

Our Insight video series will help you master digital manufacturing. Every Friday we’ll post a new video – each one giving you a deeper Insight into how to design better parts. We’ll cover specific topics such as choosing the right 3D printing material, optimising your design for CNC machining, surface finishes for moulded parts, and much more besides.

 

This week, we are looking at Multi-Cavity Tools.

Multi-Cavity tooling can increase production and reduce part costs, however, it is not as simple as copying the CAD file of a single cavity mould over and over. Thermal variations can lead to part issues such as sink and deformation. This video gives tips on how to avoid this.
