Injection molding is one of the top applications for Axtra3D customers – and with good reason. The entire process, from mold insert design to injection molded part, can take place in a single shift with help from the Lumia.X1. Our Hi-Speed SLA and TruLayer technology delivers precise parts with under 20um surface smoothness, and when combined with a ceramic filled resin (like Ultracur3D® RG 3280), the result is a mold that you can use right in your injection molding machine after post processing, no tooling required. Depending on what type of plastic injected, these molds can take up to 3,000 shots, making them ideal for prototyping or short run manufacturing.
