WHY THE MASSIVIT 10000-G?

Large tools & molds traditionally used for producing fiber-reinforced composite parts are expensive, slow-to-build, wasteful, and require extensive manual skilled labor. The Massivit 10000-G brings to market enormous time- and cost-saving benefits for the manufacturing of large tooling:

• Shorten production time of molds by 80%
• Save up to 90% of manual labor
• Significantly reduce tool costs
• Simplify production, achieve higher yield
• Simplify supply chain and reduce required stocks
• Reduce waste of expensive materials

HOW THE MASSIVIT 10000-G WORKS

• An outer sacrificial shell is 3D printed with a water-breakable gel using Massivit 3D’s Gel Dispensing Printing Technology (GDP).
• A thermoset epoxy material – that has high mechanical and thermal properties – is cast into that shell, forming an isotropic mould.
• Once the 3D printed tool is immersed in plain water, the sacrificial shell crumbles away, leaving the desired mould, ready to use.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

• Design freedom allows mould production of function-oriented, intricate geometries
• Better and faster tool design cycle – including many features – reduces iterations
• CAD part to CAD mould design enables improved accuracy, consistency and higher reliability
• True isotropy as well as high mechanical and thermal properties at elated temperatures

Print times are estimated to be 30x faster than industrial, smaller printers.
