Mantle is excited to share that it recently installed a P-200 production system at Westec Plastics, an ISO-certified plastic injection molder serving various medical, consumer, and industrial customers.
The Mantle P-200 is the only metal 3D printer specifically designed to create injection mold tooling bringing a new level of speed and flexibility to Westec’s existing tooling capabilities.
Westec’s Livermore, California headquarters features 23 injection molding presses and an extensive range of equipment for secondary operations. Their headquarters also features a full in-house tool room.
“Using Mantle’s technology, we can complete up to 70 percent of the job and have our toolmakers handle the specialized steps only humans can do. With Mantle, we can provide our customers a service they can’t get anywhere else,” said Tammy Barras, President at Westec Plastics
Westec will use its Mantle metal 3D printer to:
- Rapidly produce prototype and production mold inserts
- Increase its total toolmaking capacity
- Address labor challenges
- Engage with its customers earlier in the design process by printing prototype inserts in H13
Mantle couldn’t be happier about its partnership with Westec as it continues to ship systems that revolutionize the tooling industry.
