ABSTRACT: Rapid tooling technologies allow for quick fabrication of injection molding tools directly from
Computer-AidedDesign (CAD) data. In this study, the capability of producing tool inserts with freeform channels
and the required finish and accuracy was examined. The investigation started with the design, manufacture and
post-processing and ended with the testing of the tool inserts for injection molding process. Using the Electron
Beam Melting (EBM) process, ...
