Many manufacturers are struggling to quicken the pace of design and reduce the cost during product development. Additive manufacturing for tooling is the ideal solution, its inherent design flexibility, feature detail and surface quality has led this technology into the mainstream.

Magforms develops the SLA resin to meet the specific needs for this kind of tooling. Avanza MS1920 SLA resin offers high quality, part accuracy and fine feature detail. The outstanding accuracy of the resin allows the formed parts to be translated into aluminum casting. What’s more, the coffee color of the material makes it easy to discern key features in the design and to inspect the parts for surface defects. This solution has been widely using in shoe sole industry which omits the need for detailing or texturing, speeding up the traditional tooling process up to 60%, enabling a cost reduction up to 30%.
