Mold steel or tool steel is very common in metal 3D printing. Widely used for manufacturing mold components, such as cores and inserts for die-casting and injection molding tools. This material is also an ideal choice for functional metal prototypes, small series products, personalized products, or spare parts with high tensile strength.

Why do our clients choose Metrixal
Why choose 3D printing mold steel? Because mold steel has excellent hardness, wear resistance, and deformation resistance, as well as the ability to maintain cutting edges at high temperatures.
H13 hot work tool steel is one of them, which can withstand infinite process conditions.
In addition, martensitic steel used for special molds also belongs to tool steel materials. For example, martensitic 300, also known as martensitic aged steel, is renowned for its high strength, toughness, and dimensional stability during the aging process.
These martensitic steels are different from other steels because they do not contain carbon and belong to intermetallic compounds that harden through metallurgical reactions rich in nickel, cobalt, and molybdenum. Due to its high hardness and wear resistance, martensitic 300 is suitable for many mold applications. Such as injection molds, light metal alloy casting, stamping and extrusion, etc. Meanwhile, martensitic 300 is widely used in aerospace, high-strength fuselage components, and racing parts.
In this way, the metal powder of mold steel is widely used for 3D printing parts.
