Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Rapid Thermoform Tooling Via Additive Manufacturing (3d Printing)Gene Haeberle, Salil DesaiAdditive Manufacturing (AM) has matured from a prototyping tool to a soft production tooling in recent years. This research elaborates the role of AM technology (3D printing) in the design, prototyping and development of a rapid thermoform tooling. The Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printer was implemented to fabricate thermoform tooling in Polypropylene Styrofoam (PPSF). We contrast the additively manufactured … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 9 Oct 2019 · 9,410 accessesView PDF Cite
