Liqcreate Strong-X is the ideal material for low-volume injection molding. A wide range of thermoplastic polymers have been tested on compatibility with molds made from Liqcreate Strong-X. The focus of this study was on temperature resistance of the 3D-printed molds and on adhesion of the thermoplastic polymer to the mold.
The tested polymers are listed in the table below and include PP, PE, HDPE, ABS, PETG, PA6 and PA12 co-polymer, injected at temperatures between 230 and 280°C (446 - 536°F). All materials were injected without any mold release agents.
Thermal degradation of the 3D-printed mold has not been observed in any of the tests. Polymers like ABS, PA6 and PA12 show adhesion to the mold, while other polymers like PP, PE, HDPE and PETG release easily from the mold and are compatible with Strong-X 3Dprinted molds. The test results were obtained with the use of two three-dimensional molds from Strong-X, and therefore a mirror plate is not used. Over 100 injections were successfully done with HDPE, PE and PP.
