Abstract
This paper investigates the technological and economic potential of 10 different AM materials manufactured with four different AM technologies for the use of tools for injection moulding. Therefore, experimental trials with three different injection moulding materials with increasing manufacturing difficulty in terms of resulting tool loads are conducted. Tool wear, resulting part quality and tool manufacturing cost are taken into account for potential evaluation. A concrete selection of the most suitable materials for further investigation is given.
