The products we love can have dozens—or even hundreds—of individual parts.
These plastic and metal parts are created from molds and dies.
Creating these molds and dies is the job of the $45B tooling industry.
Across industries, OEMs are facing growing pressure to reduce costs, accelerate development times, and improve product quality. Hidden within plain sight is the tooling process, the costly and lengthy last step between finished design and mass production.
Mantle’s solution speeds product development, increases profitability, and improves innovation by rapidly delivering precision tool steel parts that require little to no post-processing. Companies can save millions and increase sales as products are brought to market in less time and with less headache.
“The Mantle part we received demonstrated a totally new level of mold-ready surface finish and detail.”
“Fast production-quality tools are what OEMs want. Mantle delivers the solution that molders like us have been searching for.”
“While the rest of the 3D printing industry is focused on near-net solutions, Mantle’s TrueShape™ technology delivers finished parts.”
A major consumer appliance manufacturer cut lead time by more than 70% and is in production using a mold insert made using Mantle technology. More than 200,000 parts have been molded – and counting.
