Abstract:

This research project aims to analyze the economic feasibility of Additive Manufacturing (AM) as supportive technology in Injection Molding (IM) tool manufacturing by estimating the potential cost-savings and lead-time reduction. Cost and lead-time considerations during small part quantity production are analyzed by developing an extended estimation model for the integration of AM in tool production. Based on six different real reference parts, the developed model shows the projected savings and the current limitations of AM applications in tool production due to material constraints. Furthermore, this extended model offers a holistic view on part cost and lead-time information, by considering tooling as well as production phases in IM and integrating tool life as a key variable. Hence, this research project closes a literature gap and facilitates the integration of AM into the IM process chain.
