Problems solved by technology

However, due to the complex structure of injection molding products and the high cost of molds, the cost advantage can only be exerted in mass production
In addition, some complex parts cannot be prepared into molds, such as closed cavities, complex inner cavities, etc., which limit the application of injection molding
At present, there are no related reports on the method of preparing small thin-walled metal parts with complex shapes by using metal slurry 3D printing without mold injection molding
