​Revolutionizing Manufacturing with Cutting-Edge Technology

​

The 3DPMolds Freeform Injection Molding (FIM) process developed by Lasse Stalle is a game-changing innovation, bridging the gap between prototyping and traditional injection molding. By combining high-speed 3D printing with the proven benefits of injection molding, offering a faster, more flexible, and cost-effective manufacturing solution. Molds today Parts Tomorrow

​

What is Freeform Injection Molding?

​

Freeform Injection Molding is a hybrid process that uses 3D-printed molds to create injection-molded parts without the need for traditional metal tooling. It allows manufacturers to produce parts quickly, affordably, and with exceptional precision. This process is ideal for low-to-medium production runs, prototyping, and functional testing.

​

Key Benefits of FIM

​

1. Speed

• Print molds in hours instead of waiting weeks or months for traditional tooling.

• Achieve accelerated production timelines, perfect for time-sensitive projects.

​

2. Cost-Effectiveness

• Eliminate the high costs associated with traditional mold fabrication.

• Save significantly on tooling costs, making low-volume production feasible.

​

3. Design Flexibility

• Iterate designs quickly without the expense of retooling.

• Experiment with complex geometries and innovative designs that traditional methods struggle to handle.

​

4. Material Versatility

• Compatible with a wide range of thermoplastic materials, including engineering-grade resins.

• Ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts with specific performance requirements.

​

5. Sustainability

• Reduce waste by using only the material needed for each mold.

• Support eco-friendly initiatives with Nexa3D’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing.​

​

How Does it Work?

​

1. Design the Mold: Create a digital mold design using CAD software.

2. Print the Mold: Usehigh-speed resin 3D printers to produce the mold with precise detail.

3. Inject the Material: Load the mold into an injection molding machine and fill it with your chosen material.

4. Remove and Finish the Part: Eject the molded part and complete any necessary post-processing.

 

Applications of FIM

​

• Medical Devices: Produce patient-specific models and functional components.

• Consumer Products: Rapidly prototype or create small-batch products for market testing.

• Automotive: Create durable parts for functional testing or short-run production.

• Industrial Parts: Manufacture complex, custom components efficiently.
