Cost-effectiveness of direct metal laser sintered maraging steel inserts for plastic injection moulding process

This paper describes an investigation into the possible heat transfer benefits of conformal cooling channels using maraging steel MS1 inserts, which could result in a reduction of cycle times and cost per product, and improve part quality by eliminating defects such as warpage and heat sinks. A manu...
