Jason Murphy of Next Chapter Manufacturing has been contributing content to MoldMaking Technology for the past few years solely to educate this niche on the advancements and benefits of 3D-printed tooling. However, today he sits down with Doug Mitchell with International Mold Steel to discuss how they have worked together to successfully qualify HTC-45 tool steel for the plastics and die casting market, which offers twice the thermal conductivity of maraging steel.
They also discuss conformal cooling, higher thermal conductivity applications in true tool steels that provide improved wear, longevity, cycle time and cooling as well as common barriers to metal AM adoption in the tooling sectors and the importance of working with suppliers to get into trials to better understand the technology.
Watch the video interview above.
