Mould Applications

LaserCusing technology was developed by the Hofmann Innovation Group GmbH of Germany. Hofmann is a well-known toolmaking company with over 400 employees working all over the EU. LaserCusing technology’s manufacturing heritage means that it can be used for tool and mouldmaking applications without any restrictions!. Hoffmann itself runs five LaserCusing machines 24 hours a day making mould inserts for their own requirements.

By combining a corrosion-resistant, hardened tool steel with interior conformal cooling, tools can be created which are free of problems, overcome thermal shock, and have increased mould lifetime and production rates.

For example the BMW car company runs its own LaserCusing-machine for optimizing its suppliers’ pressure diecasting-processes, enabling them to maximize profit from this new technology.
