Abstract:The concept of hybrid mould combines the conventional techniques of mould manufacturing and Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Tooling, resorting to non-conventional materials for producing moulding blocks, e. g., epoxy resin composites. Composites based on an epoxy system with 15% weight fraction of short steel fibres (SSF) were considered adequate for improving the performance of moulding blocks. The epoxy/short steel fibre composite moulding blocks were produced by vacuum casting in silicone moulds. Polypropylene … Show more
