Toolmaking Automated: a new approach to metal 3D printing for toolmaking
Ethan Rejto Director of Marketing  at Mantle ethan.rejto@mantle3d.com

Ethan is the Director of Marketing at Mantle. Ethan has extensive experience in technical marketing for design and manufacturing products. He previously ran the technical marketing team at Desktop Metal, a 3D printing manufacturer focused on volume production. Before that, Ethan worked on the rapid prototyping team at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where he worked on the laser communication system for the NASA Orion mission. Ethan has a Master of Engineering from Boston University and a degree in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Colorado, Boulder.


Mantle identified the numerous challenges with producing injection mold tooling traditionally and the shortcomings of other metal 3D printing technologies and developed an innovative solution specifically for producing injection mold tooling. Mantle's technology delivers tools with the accuracy, surface finish, and material properties demanded of tooling in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional and other metal 3D printing methods.

In this presentation, we will discuss real-world examples of how manufacturers use Mantle's metal 3D printing technology for tooling and explore the current metal 3D printing landscape for injection mold tooling.
