Description
Dissolvable photopolymer resin for Freeform Injection Molding
Ultracur3D® xMOLD is a dissolvable photopolymer resin developed for Freeform Injection Molding (FIM). Ultracur3D xMOLD enables manufacturers, engineers, and product developers to produce real injection-molded parts using 3D-printed tooling, reducing tooling costs and accelerating development cycles.
Move from CAD design to functional molded parts in hours or days instead of waiting weeks or months for conventional tooling.
With high dimensional accuracy, low viscosity and rapid, residue-free dissolution, Ultracur3D® xMOLD is ideal for creating complex mold geometries that would be difficult or costly to realize with traditional metal tooling.
Accelerate molded part development without conventional tooling constraints
Ultracur3D® xMOLD dramatically lowers the barrier to injection molding by replacing traditional steel or aluminum tooling with fully dissolvable 3D-printed molds. This can reduce tooling costs by up to 90%, accelerate physical validation and enable more design iterations with less commercial risk.
Because the mold is dissolved away after molding, teams can unlock greater design freedom, eliminate complex demolding requirements, and simplify workflows for geometries that are difficult, expensive or even impossible with conventional tooling approaches.
Optimized for digital tooling workflows
Ultracur3D® xMOLD combines a low viscosity of 50 mPas at 30°C with balanced mechanical performance, supporting accurate printing of mold inserts and rapid downstream dissolution. It is compatible with DLP and LCD technologies and has already been evaluated on systems including MiiCraft Ultra 125, Formlabs Form 4, Nexa3D XiP and Nexa3D NXE, with further evaluations ongoing.
Designing
Create the mold geometry digitally and prepare the part design for fast iteration and additive tooling.
Curing
3D print the mold, then clean and cure it to achieve the performance needed for injection molding.
Injecting
Use the printed mold insert in the injection molding process to produce functional thermoplastic parts quickly.
Demolding
Remove the molded part and benefit from rapid tooling that supports faster validation, iteration and low-volume production.
