“…Similarly, Jafari and his team studied the capillary performance analysis of metal 3D-printed wick structures for heat pipe applications using experimental techniques, but the scope of their investigation could have been expanded to include more materials [34]. Ramesh et al [35] investigated the compression behavior of 3D-printed metal foams using both experimental and numerical approaches, but their study lacked a comparison with other types of metal foams. In the same year, Kumar et al [36] developed a metal-plated 3D-printed electrode for the electrochemical detection of carbohydrates.…”

“…An evaluation of 3D-printed foams was conducted to determine the load-bearing properties of these hollow structure. Ramesh et al [10] studied a set of cubes with varying pore diameters subjected to compression. The analysis determined that compressive strength varies directly with part density and inversely with specimen porosity.…”

Compression mold tooling fabrication has been traditionally conducted via machining processes-for example, computerized numerical control machining, mill, or lathe operations. While subtractive manufacturing operations provide high-precision tooling, they have an extended lead time and generate material waste, which increases manufacturing costs. This paper analyzes Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) as a viable alternative to traditional compression mold manufacturing. DMLS is an additive manufacturing process that uses high-powered lasers to fuse metal powders in a layered approach to create high-precision metal components. Through layering materials, DMLS can produce complex geometries which can have features impossible to machine from traditional manufacturing methods.Additionally, DMLS uses less material for parts, reducing material costs and lead times. In this paper, DMLS manufactured mold was computationally studied against a traditional compression mold's thermal and pressure requirements. The DMLS mold was designed with a honeycomb structure to reduce material usage while maintaining structural integrity. Computational Analysis showed that the production requirement, "maximum de ection of 0.001 inches", was achieved with the DMLS when pressures and temperatures were similar to those required for the tooling. In addition, DMLS-produced mold utilized 74% less material than a traditionally manufactured mold.
