Attempting to 3D Print a MOLD INSERT with a Flawless Finish

In this video we are attempting to 3D Print a Mold Core Insert with internal conformal cooling chambers. We will then grind the surface to a perfect surface finish using the Studer S31 from United Grinding. Question is. Will there be porosity in the printed H13 steel? 3D printed on the Markforged MetalX… Let’s see if it’s withstands the test. 00:00 Intro 00:27 What is a Mold Insert 01:54 Preparing for 3D Print 02:17 3D Printing on the Markforged MetalX 02:52 3D Mold Insert 03:14 Grinding on the Studer S31 03:26 Setting up Mold Insert into Machine 03:44 Grinding Mold Insert 05:10 Changing Chuck & flipping Mold Insert 05:55 Indicating Mold Insert 06:19 Grinding Montage 07:58 Finished Mold Insert 08:15 Surface Finish Check using Mitutoyo 09:12 Outro Join this channel to get access to perks: Join our community Discord!
