COATINGS AND MOLDING INSERTS
COATINGS AND MOLDING INSERTS
DURAGLIDE
Innovative coating for molding inserts for aluminum injection
ULTRAGLIDE
Innovative coating for polymer molding inserts (plastic injection)
DESCRIPTION
Developed within the scope of PPS2.2.7 of the INOV.AM Agenda, the Ultraglide and Duraglide coatings address tribological challenges such as improving the durability and performance of hybrid molds. Their range of applicability also extends to tools and components produced by subtractive manufacturing.
APPLICATIONS
HYBRID MOLDS FOR PLASTIC INJECTION
Cavities and inserts produced by metal AM (e.g., LPBF, DED) or polymer AM.
RAPID FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPING
Short-run molds produced in high-performance polymers (e.g., PEEK, PA, photopolymer resins) that require surface protection to enable injection cycles.
HYBRID FORMING TOOLS
Punches and dies with complex geometries produced by metal 3D printing, subjected to severe tribological loads.
