How to Build 10,000+ Shot Molds in Hours
Rapid tooling isn’t so rapid when it takes days to 3D print a metal mold, and then you still must machine it to reach the necessary tolerances. With Nexa3D’s polymer process you can print a mold in hours that is prototype or production ready and can last for more than 10,000 shots.
