This document discusses how 3D printing can be used for prototype blow molding tooling. It notes that 3D printing is best suited when production levels are low to moderate, multiple designs must be considered, prototypes are required from the final plastic material, and design changes are likely. The key advantages of 3D printed blow molding tools are reduced lead times by 30-70%, lower prototype mold costs by 40-80%, stability eliminating heat distortion, durability through hundreds of cycles, and little to no post processing. The document compares FDM and PolyJet 3D printing processes for blow molding tools and provides examples of savings in production time and costs when using 3D printed blow molding tools versus traditional CNC machining
