Soft × Hard Insert Molding: We Tried to See if We Could Insert Mold a 3D Printed Model! | System Create

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver helpful information each time. The tabletop injection molding machine "Moiron M2-1" accelerates the cycle of research and product development. It is utilized in a wide range of applications, starting with shape confirmation in prototyping, but if it can add different functions beyond prototyping, the speed to commercialization will further accelerate. However, you may have questions such as whether the adhesion between resins is sufficient or if insert molding can be done on 3D printed models. This time, we tried insert molding on a 3D printed model! We created the insert model using the SLA printer "Form 4." After that, we injected soft materials using the "Moiton M2-I." What was the outcome of the injection molding combining soft and hard materials!? The results of this verification are explained in the materials. Please take a look. *You can download the materials from the button below.
