MFT Explained

HTS proprietary additive manufacturing technology
  • MFT is a HTS proprietary additive manufacturing technology based on liquid diffusion. 
  • It enables the machining of flow channels before the bonding, allowing for smooth polished channel surface and complex geometries.
  • The MFT bonding process is highly robust and thoroughly validated for hot runner applications. The bond strength matches the tensile strength of the base material, which in this case is forged tool steel.

Channels Machining

Plates of Base Material

  • Channels ar miled into the base material.
  • Channel surface can bi polished or coated.

Bonding

MFT Bonding

  • Channels ar miled into the base material.
  • Channel surface can bi polished or coated.

Final Shape Machining

Finished Manifold Plate

The final fixtures, grooves and 3D shapes are milled according to the specified tolerances.

Optimized configuration for uniform polymer flow and minimized resin retention.

Channels with smooth transitions

The resin distribution channels can be precisely and specifically tailored to the exact requirements of the process, with complete design freedom, not constrained by the limitations of conventional drilling methods.

Bond tensile strenght equal to base material

The bond strength created utilising MFT equals the tensile strength of the base material used. Each bonding surface is meticulously tested with an ultrasonic inspection to ensure perfect diffusion.
