THE ONLY 3D PRINTER BUILT FOR TOOLING.
Mantle’s 3D printers are the most efficient way to produce mold and die inserts with the accuracy, surface finish, and tool steel properties demanded by toolmakers.
- Machines
- Tool Steels
- Software
MACHINES
Mantle’s P-200 printer is a hybrid metal 3D printer built on a CNC platform.
Mantle’s F-200 furnace sinters the parts printed in the P-200 printer.
- P-200 printer to print and shape
- F-200 furnace to sinter
- Designed for your shop floor
TOOL STEELS
Mantle’s tool steels have the properties needed for molding even the most demanding plastics.
H13 is a mainstay of production tooling and stands up to even the most demanding molding environments.
- H13 sinters to 42 HRC and can be heat treated to 52 HRC
- Compatible with existing finishing operations like machining, EDM, drilling, etc.
- Polish to an A2, texture, and plate using traditional methods
SOFTWARE
Mantle’s software ensures a seamless process from digital file to precision metal part. Users upload their CAD file, select the desired material, and hit print on an easy-to-use interface. No toolpath programming required.
-
Automatic tool pathing without programming
(no CAM required) - Easy-to-use
- Real-time print and equipment monitoring
HOW IT WORKS
Mantle’s TrueShape technology combines the 3D printing of their flowable metal tool steel pastes with precision CNC machining and sintering to produce precision tooling at the push of a button.
- Excellent surface finish (1-3 um Ra / Charmilles 26)
- Best in class precision (0.001″ per inch)
- Fine features (0.003″ radii)
- Stable, durable tool steels
