Molds and metal parts repair
Technology of repair of molds and metal parts
We carry out repairs of molds and metal parts thanks to the possibilities offered by 3D metal printing technology.
3D metal printing technology can also be used in the field of repairs of molds and technical components. This innovative method of repair focuses on damage of a larger nature and thus expands the possibilities of repairing a damaged part that would be irreparable until now. This can also be done in cases where there are modifications, shape adjustments and the effort is made to minimize costs and shortest adjustment time.

- Heat treatment up to 54 HRC
Materials
- Tool steel - 1.2709
- Stainless steel - 1.4542

How it works
1.
Damage detection
The mould is dismantled and thoroughly inspected - looking for cracks, wear, cavitation or burrs. The analysis determines whether the mould can be repaired or whether a new part needs to be manufactured.
2.
Repairing the surface or parts
Damaged areas are often repaired by welding (e.g. laser) followed by grinding or polishing. Sometimes the entire insert or an exact part of the mould is changed.
3.
Inspection and commissioning
After repair, the mould is tested - checking for leaks, functionality of sliding parts and quality of mouldings. If everything fits, it can go back into production without the need for a full replacement.
