IMTS 2024 Conference: Revolutionizing Tool Design and Performance: The Role of Additive 3D Printing

Tuesday September 10 10:00 AM CST
IMTS20 Room W193-B

About the presentation
Innovative tooling solutions are paramount to meet the increasing demands of efficiency, sustainability, and performance when manufacturing. This presentation dives into the transformative role of additive 3D printing in tool design with a special focus on additively manufactured MaxiMill – 211-DC equipped with direct coolant delivery system, a game-changer in lightweight tool design and coolant delivery.

The integration of direct coolant channels to the cutting edges enhances the capabilities of many tooling applications. By effectively managing coolant delivery and lubrication, CERATIZIT is setting new benchmarks in sustainable tooling solutions for aerospace, automotive and medical applications.

Attendees will gain invaluable insights into the following:

• Application of additive 3D printing in tool design
• Significance of additive manufacturing in executing lightweight tool design
• Innovative features of the MaxiMill 211 DC made possible only through additive manufacturing
• How additive design facilitates MQL delivery for machining efficiency and sustainability.
