Hello,
Following up from the most recent post (http://www.injectionmoldingonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1011). Does anyone have any info or opinions on Thermomolding as an alternative solution to Injection Molding?
We are a small company that doesn't have a ton of resources, but we need to be able to produce a particular part with tool-level usability and longevity.
The tool is essentially a 4 in x 4 inch x 1.25 inch block with 8 apertures. It's a fairly simple design, currently in .STL and .STEP formats that we've been using to 3D print the prototypes. We don't need a solid block of plastic, we just need the core functionalities the tool offers.
Any advice/input is greatly appreciated.
