Vacuum Forming with 3D Printed Tooling
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.
3D Printed Tooling
Catalysis FX™ Tooling
- Mass production quality level
- 50% the cost of traditional tooling
- 1-2 weeks manufacturing time
- 103” inches to date (very scalable technology)
Compared to Conventional Tooling Methods
Metal Vacuum Forming Tool
- Typically formed from solid pieces of metal
- Process can be very time consuming
- Expensive tooling costs
Ren / Wood Board
- Limited production volumes
- Tool delaminates
- Unable to keep optimal tool temperature
