About
Producing low-volume injection molds with an in-house 3D printer offers unique benefits including fast development timelines, design versatility and achieving production-quality parts at a fraction of the cost. If you're interested in producing injection-molded prototypes of limited series in-house, you'll need to first design the mold. Formlabs will share this introductory session to get you started with this workflow. Join professional design instructor Kim Olson for a masterclass and live Q&A on designing 3D-printed injection molds. Kim will provide an overview of best practices and share behind-the-scene insights from his own projects.
