Case Study of Large Three-Dimensional-Printed Slider with Conformal Cooling for High-Pressure Die Casting
Journal: 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing
Year: 2023

Metal three-dimensional (3D) printing technology brings several benefits to the field of high-pressure die casting of aluminum, which enhances its development. The associated conformal cooling application is already commonly used where there is a need to improve the quality of castings, increase tool life, or reduce the production cycle. However, will this technology withstand the production of a large part (∼270 × 270 × 200 mm), which will be used directly in the serial production of engine blo
