Abstract
The main focus of this work was to evaluate additive manufacturing of metal molds, with significantly reduced cost and/or procurement lead time, for production of large composite components for mainstream (> 100k units/yr) automobiles. A two-component large tool with conformal heating channels was designed, optimized, printed, machined, and tested in production. The resulting analysis indicates that large scale AM is suitable for manufacturing complex geometry large scale metal molds.
