Overview

Mantle3D provides metal 3D-printed tooling, focusing on high-hardness steel tools used to make molds and dies for plastic and metal parts. Their products are designed to replace or supplement traditional tooling with 3D-printed steel parts that meet tight tolerances and smooth finishes. The process blends conventional manufacturing with additive manufacturing, using flexible part geometries and optimized conformal cooling lines to produce more parts per hour, shorter lead times, and lower post-processing. This helps OEMs cut costs, accelerate development, and improve quality in production. Unlike typical tooling suppliers, Mantle3D emphasizes the combination of metal 3D printing, advanced cooling integration, and high-hardness steel to deliver precise tooling quickly. The company’s goal is to streamline manufacturing workflows for OEMs by delivering fast, cost-efficient, high-precision molds and dies that enable faster product development and higher profitability.
