- This paper is part of a collaboration with Renishaw Plc to demonstrate the advantages of 3D printed tooling. For the first time, the paper demonstrated experimentally the benefits (e.g., reduction of cycle time, sink marks, etc.) of 3D printed self-supporting lattice-based conformal cooling layers. Other research groups have now adopted the concepts described in this paper. The student working on this project (Brigden) subsequently gained employment with the collaborating company (Renishaw Plc) as an applications engineer.
