摘要
In this case study of are spray metal cooling, the feasibility of implementing are metal spraying on a master produced using an RP technique, to produce the tool is tested This tool is then used to produce plastic parts in injection molding. In this pi-eject, the tool was completed in less than 2 weeks and at an approximate cost of $4180. Compared to traditional tool shop methods, this method would provide time and cost savings of at least 50%.
