Utilizing 3D printed tooling can be a quick and inexpensive method to produce prototype or low volume runs (when compared to aluminum or steel tooling costs and lead times) of plastic parts. With this step-by-step guide we aim to highlight the critical areas of the process to help you have more success with your 3D printed tooling (molds) and MicroMolder.Step 1:Design your tool using your favorite CAD program. In our example we designed a tool that will produce two small measuring spoons. The
