Vacuum Forming with 3D Printed Die
Vacuum forming with conventional metal tooling can be expensive and also have a long delivery time. Now, imagine if there was a better tooling method that could actually cut that cost and time nearly in half. At Catalysis, we provide low-cost 3D printed tooling that enables low volume production parts to be produced in half the time and at half the cost of traditional tooling.
Conventional Tooling Methods
Metal Vacuum Forming Tool
- Typically formed from solid pieces of metal
- Process can be very time consuming and expensive
- Limited production volumes
Ren / Wood Board
- Limited production volumes
- Tool delaminates
- Unable to keep optimal tool temperature
From a valued customer…
“This breakthrough is allowing customers and entrepreneurs to develop and test their products in half the time of standard tooling development at a fraction of the cost.”
