BOY is embracing the trend for 3D printed technology, with a demonstration of injection moulding using additive manufactured mould inserts. The inserts are being produced on a 3D printer live on the BOY stand, before being installed in a mould holder on a BOY XS injection moulding machine for the production of karabiner hooks (a coupling link with a safety closure) made of diverse materials. The company is also showing hot and cold temperature control and multi-component technology in the same moulding application, with the production of crosstip screwdrivers.
