Stanley Black & Decker Backs Injection Molding/3D Printing Combination
To help large manufacturers more easily produce rubbers and silicones for custom and on-demand products, Stanley Black & Decker partners with Structure3d to develop the Inj3ctor additive manufacturing platform.
Mar 16th, 2021
Developed for the purpose of replacing short run or manual processes that currently exist in industrial injection molding, the Inj3ctor from Structur3d is reportedly the first additive manufacturing system to combine the principles of injection molding with 3D printing.
According to Structur3d, the Inj3ctor uses curated material cartridges to mix and inject 2-component flexible materials into any customizable shape, enabling turnkey, small-batch manufacturing of rubber materials.
