Abstract
New products must reach the market faster and faster. Often, the mould cons truction stage is the stumbling block to market release. Laser-sintered pro totype moulds are already shortening development phases considerably. Now, there is a new material available that makes it possible to use laser-sinte red moulds for all phases of the product life cycle. Short runs of 100,000 injection-moulded parts can be made with it.
