How to Overcome Complex Mold Texturing Problems
Laser texturing might be the right solution to overcome these complex challenges. Here are a few key advantages to consider.
Laser Texturing Benefits
Laser texturing is a fully digital process that replicates all industry-standard patterns and allows for virtually limitless design possibilities.It permits the design of innovative, complex patterns to meet the rapidly changing needs of the medical, aerospace, automotive, defense and consumer goods industries.
Laser texturing delivers highly repeatable precision results, which is not only ideal for maintaining consistency throughout projects but allows the operator the ability to pick back up on molds for repair or to refurbish the texture on high-volume tools that may wear over time.
In most cases, you do not need to remove the EDM layer to laser texture a mold. Avoiding this step reduces the time and cost associated with polishing, which also helps to maintain tight tolerances. However, the surface finish requirements of the texture dictate the need for polishing.
Laser texturing, on the other hand, is not as susceptible to weld and hardness issues. In most cases, it is completely unaffected. Laser texturing produces consistent results regardless of the mold’s condition.
