technical study from a leader in the plastics industry
The French Industrial and Technical Center for Plastics and Composites - IPC conducted a study evaluating the performance of injection molding using 3D printed molds. This article summarizes some of the findings, particularly those related to Formlabs 3D printers.
Injection molding is an economical and highly reproducible technology mass production of plastic parts with tight geometric tolerances.
However, the high cost of traditional steel equipment makes it difficult to injection mold small batches of parts and can often be a barrier to new product introduction. By using 3D printed injection molds, engineers, fabricators and product designers can lower their costs, reduce lead times and bring better products to market. 3D printed injection molds are a great option for those who want to develop functional prototypes from end-use materials, produce a series of identical pre-production samples, or even custom or limited-edition end-use models.
Checkpoints
The IPC study was divided into three phases:
1 . Comparison of 3D printing technologies: The first classification was based on the technical data of several manufacturers. The thermal and mechanical characteristics were evaluated, respectively, in terms of deformation heat resistance (HDT) and tensile modulus. To select the three most promising materials for each of the identified technologies, four types of control points were developed to highlight critical properties.
Due to the high resolution and smooth surface of the 3D printable models, resin-based solutions have been recognized as the best material choice for injection molding molds.
In general, a similar range of dimensional variations is measured for all 3D printing technologies considered: from ± 0.02 mm to ± 0.05 mm for small parts and from ± 0.05 mm to ± 0.2 mm for large parts .
The standard accuracy of machined metal tools should be ± 0.02 mm. This accuracy is desirable for a good fit along the parting line and to prevent reflow. IPC offers two methods for optimizing the parting line of a 3D printed resin tool.
2 . Guidelines for material characterization, design, and 3D printing.
3 . Injection Molding Tests: IPC performed two tests with different mold sets. In the first test, an "extreme test" scheme was used. Nearly a hundred polypropylene models were cast using a mono-material mold printed in High Temp Resin. The second test used a more complex "extreme test" scheme.
Thousands of polypropylene models were molded using a mold of different materials: the core and mold inserts were printed from Rigid 10K Resin, and the frame was printed from Nylon 12 (Polyamide 12) using selective laser sintering technology. 9Mold design from several materials with inserts (Fig. 2).
IPC has developed two sets of molds for casting two different complex patterns. Both sets were intended to optimize the quality of the parting line:
Both halves of the tool must be within ± 0.02 mm to ensure a correct fit.
1. Monomaterial mold printed in High Temp Resin.
It has a simple geometry with no inserts or additional moving parts, and includes texturing. To improve the parting line, it will be redesigned in the final stage.

2.
Multi-material mold: The fixed side of the mold is printed with Rigid 10K Resin and includes texturing. The moving side consists of one core and four inserts printed in Rigid 10K Resin,
as well as a frame printed in Nylon 12 (Polyamide 12) using selective laser sintering (SLS) technology. The soft frame is equipped with an insert to compensate for dimensional deviations from the parting line. Nylon 12 (Polyamide 12) is flexible enough to accommodate size variation during mold clamping. However, selective laser sintering should only be used to print the frame and not the entire plate, because it does not provide high enough resolution for the shaping surfaces, and the plate melts at high temperatures.
Multi-material STL files loaded into PreForm print preparation software: fixed side (left) and movable side, core and inserts (right) printed with Rigid 10K Resin.
This geometry is slightly more complex and is designed to test the stability of thin inlays.
To simplify the assembly, the angle of inclination between the core and the frame is three degrees. The frame was made with a 0.05mm allowance for a better fit.

(3) Pyramid with a side of 0.3 mm and a depth of 0.2 mm. (4) Leather 0.14 mm high.
Design Guides
After several revisions, the IPC recommends the following best practices:
- Plan an allowance for the printed form and process it to adjust the dimensions.
- Avoid small cores: parts with a smaller section may not withstand pressure and temperature. IPC recommends printing several inserts for thin protruding parts (they can be replaced in case of failure) or making small parts from metal.
- Making a structure larger than 400 mm can be a challenge. Since the parameters increase with size, it will be more difficult to match the shape.
- Increase pitch and overhang angles (10° to 20°) to avoid distortion.
- Do not build cooling channels into the mold structure. Heat transfer in plastic models is slower than in metal models, so the cooling channels will not have enough effect on temperature to compensate for the time spent designing this system. When complex materials or designs are used, regulation may be useful, but this is for further study.
3D mold printing
3D printing resin
Forms were printed on a Form 3 3D printer and post-processed on Form Wash and Form Cure devices. IPC printed two different sets of molds:
- High Temp Resin mold printed at 25 µm layer height was washed in isopropyl alcohol for six minutes, cured for 120 minutes at 80°C and thermal cured for three hours at 160° C.
This material has a HDT of 238° C at 0.45 MPa, the highest among Formlabs polymers and one of the highest among polymers on the market. These characteristics allow it to withstand high injection molding temperatures with minimal cooling time. - Form core and inserts in Rigid 10K Resin, printed at 50 µm layer height, rinsed twice in isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes, cured for 60 minutes at 70°C, and thermal cured for 90 minutes at 125°C to achieve higher deformation heat resistance. This polymer is an industrial material with a high glass content - ideal for casting of a wide variety of geometric shapes and under different conditions of the injection molding process. Rigid 10K Resin has a deformation heat resistance of 218° C at 0.45 MPa and a tensile modulus of 10,000 MPa. These characteristics make this polymer a strong, extremely rigid and thermally stable molding material that retains its shape under pressure and at temperature for the manufacture of precise models.
The mold frame was printed from Nylon 12 (Polyamide 12) using SLS selective laser sintering technology.
3D printing manual
After several revisions, IPC recommends the following best practices for 3D printing:
- For extended plate life, print with Rigid 10K Resin.
- Use a low layer height for better resolution: SLA 3D printing provides very fine texturing.
- If possible, print the plate without supporting structures to achieve greater dimensional accuracy and avoid distortion.
- Orient the mold so that there are no protrusions.
- Orient the mold so that there are no protrusions.
Mold printed with Rigid 10K Resin, fixed side on build platform
- If possible, print both halves aligned with the assembly direction. Possible size variations can improve the compatibility and quality of the parting line.
- After 3D printing the mold, machine it.
In particular, adjust the parting line so that both halves of the mold match each other and do not melt. The diameter has a risk of warping, so holes may need to be drilled.
Rigid 10K Resin Mold Printed Textures
Scan Metrology
IPC scanned the plates to evaluate dimensional change immediately after printing and after final curing. These scanned images show less than ±0.05 mm deviation for over 75% of the details.

Injection molding
Mold Assembly
As mentioned above, it is recommended to process the 3D printed mold before assembly to ensure that critical dimensions are met. However, the multi-material mold did not need to be machined as the soft Nylon 12 (Polyamide 12) parting line is able to absorb dimensional changes.
You can then add push pins or inserts. IPC recommends printing several inserts for thin models with protrusions that are at increased risk of breakage: in this case, they are easy to replace. Mold handling and assembly are operations that require care as 3D printed parts can break during processing. 3D printed molds should be placed in a metal die or master mold to withstand the pressure.

Injection molding process conditions
The team has cast thousands of models under the following injection molding conditions:
- Injection molding machine: industrial, ENGEL 150T
- Injection molding material: polypropylene (PP)
- Injection molding temperature: 200° C
- Casting pressure: 180 bar
- Mold clamping force: 125 kN
- Release agent: none
- Cooling system: none.
The temperature was controlled by a thermal imaging camera and the cycle only started when the plate temperature was below 36°C. - Ejection: automatic with ejection pins and robotic arm designed to move the part
- Cycle time: 150 sec.
Results
IPC cast 90 polypropylene models in a monomaterial mold printed in High Temp Resin.
The cast models were distinguished by high surface quality and detail. However, after 31 iterations, the mold began to crack, which affected the surface quality of the remaining cast models.

The cast models were distinguished by high surface quality and detail. There were light fusions after the first castings and small cracks around the core clamps after 900 castings.
Lightening appeared at the place where the sprue was supplied.

IPC recommends choosing Rigid 10K Resin to maintain shape durability.
This polymer is less brittle and exhibits better load strength than
High Temp Resin. The 3D printed mold should be processed to improve parting line accuracy and reduce flashover. Using a multi-material soft-framed mold is a great alternative solution for compensating for dimensional variations. IPC suggests that the molding process will be more difficult when dealing with viscous materials such as polycarbonate (PC),
as well as casting temperatures above 240° C.
IPC appreciated the possibility of using 3D printed injection molds in low volumes. With a mold core printed in Formlabs Rigid 10K Resin and a soft frame printed in Nylon 12 (Polyamide 12), thousands of polypropylene parts have been cast, reducing printing costs by 80-90% compared to using a metal mold.
