This mold comes with the bushings and pins installed. You just need to print your 3D insert mold. It uses the claws on the both sides. The 3D printed molds can be made by using Origin, FormLabs, Markforged, Stratasys or an Asiga 3D printer with high temp and high conductive plastic material.
NOTE: It is suggested to use ONLY PP, PE or TPE materials with this type of molds. Other materials may need either high injection pressure or high temperature for molding. Please read this 3D PRINTED MOLD USERGUIDE for more informaiton.
It comes with a rubber cushion and two screws (1/4-20 5/8 inch) on the B side (right side) and two screws (1/4-20 1/2 in) on the A side (left side). The Silicone Rubber sheet (1/8" thick) material can also be purchased from McMaster.
3D printed insert molds are NOT included. The pins and bushings are tight fit and need to be pressed in by the machine or a manual press not by hand. This video on our YouTube channel may help you to understand how to install the mold on the machine: https://youtu.be/DwI4hVaRBE8?t=430
There is another video about the 3D printed molds including installation and machine settings: https://youtu.be/aCIKSL4saHQ
There is no temperature sensor hole provided for the 3D mold inserts.
The mold insulator should be used to stabilize the mold temperature over time.
Dimensions: 4.8"W x 6.0"H x 2.0"D
Pins, bushings and a set of claws are included. There will be only one set of claws for multiple mold order.
The screws (1/4"-20 round head)
High-temperature silicone rubber sheet
