We wanted to see if using 3D Printed Nylon break press tooling was effective for forming Aluminum and Stainless Steel parts while preventing them from being marked during the bending process.

This also acted as a perfect test of putting the 3D Printed part under many tons of pressure and seeing how it held up from a wear perspective.

We found the Nylon 12 part was non marking and did not damage the Aluminum or Stainless Steel test plates, it also held up great to the extreme pressures involved in the forming operation.
