CONFORMAL COOLING INSERTS
REDUCE CYCLE TIME, INCREASE THROUGHPUT, AND IMPROVE QUALITYTruCool™ Conformal Cooling utilizes the cutting edge, Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) 3D printing process to produce highly complex cavities, cores, and components with conformal cooling channels.
KEY CUSTOMER BENEFITS• Cycle time reduction up to 60 percent • Unlimited design flexibility• Improved quality •Completethermalcontrolofmoldsurface •Optimizedcoolingeliminateshotspots •Improveddimensionalstability •Minimizes thermal drift which causes warpage, sink and distortion• Process control over cooling cycle• Increaseproductioncapacity• Decrease cavitation
BUILD THE UNMACHINEABLEConformal Cooling achieves shapes, paths, and channel geometriesimpossibletoobtainwithconventionaltooling.Ourproprietary3Dformulationtechnology,formetalpowderprocessing,enablesthedeliveryof3Dprinted metal without porosity that is superior to other standardoff-the-shelfformulasusedbythecompetition.
COOLING IS YOUR NEXT BIG OPPORTUNITYCooling often is the largest portion of the molding process, opening the door for major improvements and savings
Typical Injection Molding Cycle (% of total processing time)
YOU ARE IN CONTROLBy controllingboththehotandNOW THE COLD HALVES you have full process parameter control. Your design solution places cooling (or heating) channels at the optimal distance from the part surface, allowing the mold to maintain a targeted, consistent temperature for complete thermal control.
TruCool conformal cooling provides superior heat transfer over conventional cooling technologies.

WHERE ADVANCE COOLING MATTERS• Long cycle times
• Challenging mold geometry
• Deformed parts/poor quality
• Variation of part wall thickness
• Minimal cavity spacing
• Precise dimensional tolerances
• High cavity molds
• Family molds
• Alternativetobrazingwhen3Disneeded
• Integratedconformalventing
