SLM - SELECTIVE LASER MELTING INSERTS FOR COOLING OPTIMIZATION

INglass-HRSFlow offers a cooling optimization support in order to:
• cycle time reduction/optimization
• part quality improvement
• warpage control
• scraps reduction

Through a Know how for a complete and deep cooling anaylisis we identify Hot spots and part criticalities. Than we propose to solve the problem by using conventional methods or SLM - Selective Laser Melting insert.

SLM technology enables to manufacture steel insert via laser melting of successive metal powder layers. Such inserts can be designed with conformal waterlines perfectly shaped to the molding surface geometry.

Conformal waterlines means:
• channels shaped according to molding surface impossible to machine with standard technology,
• short and uniform distance between channel wall and molding surface,
• any channel cross section geometry is possible (elliptical, squared, etc...),
• surface cooling possible.
