Of course, post-processing to a smooth surface is essential in mold construction. That is why the product must be easy to mill and sand after printing, for which Covestro has brought an interesting product to the market.

From idea to production

The molds were made from recycled PET (rPET) supplied by Covestro. The material is fiberglass filled and has a relatively low thermal expansion. Finding the right process settings for the optimal printing strategy was challenging, carried out in close collaboration with Covestro’s material experts.
