Ever-evolving technological markets continue to positively influence and impact the manufacturing industry. As additive manufacturing (AM) has risen in popularity, mold builders, for example, have seen a difference in what it can provide, from more intricate conformal cooling channels, to mold repair and production of complex components. To help readers keep up with the different products and services that impact moldmaking, MMT is here with another monthly technology roundup, providing readers with a rundown of relevant technology on the market.

This month’s focus is on AM products, processes and equipment. To check out more tech roundups from months prior, browse the “New Tech” section of the MoldMaking Technology website or look up “technology roundup” in the homepage’s Search bar.
