Particle foam mouldsAdditive manufacturing of particle foam tools

Additive manufacturing processes for particle foam tools do not only save money during tool production, but also result in significantly optimised cycle times and greater flexibility during the mould design process. With the innovative LaserCUSING® and Liquid Metal Printing technologies, we offer solutions for your particle foam mould that are perfectly tailored to your requirements in terms of cost, production time and surface quality.
