Manufacturing and tooling teams looking to accelerate injection mold validation are increasingly turning to Ataru Black printed inserts. With high-performance materials like ATARU Black, they can fabricate detailed, dimensionally accurate inserts capable of withstanding real molding conditions while significantly reducing cost and lead time.
This free feasibility study, developed with SKZ, condenses real molding trials, durability testing and practical engineering insights to help teams understand how ATARU Black performs in production—and how to successfully apply 3D-printed inserts for short-run tooling.
What you’ll get from the study
- Real examples of ATARU Black inserts tested under injection molding conditions.
- Material behavior lending to extended tooling life: thermal stability, accuracy, surface quality and wear.
- Design & processing recommendations to maximize insert lifespan.
- Performance results with commonly used thermoplastics.
- Clear guidance on where additive inserts fit best in the tooling workflow.
