HoliMaker at K 2025: combining 3D printing and injection moulding

HoliMaker at K 2025: combining…

HoliMaker SAS will present its compact on-desk injection moulding solutions at K 2025 in Düsseldorf. The presentation will focus on the HoliPress, a manual piston injection moulding machine used for prototyping, small series production, training and material development. A particular emphasis is placed on the combination of additive manufacturing and injection moulding. According to the company, 3D-printed mould inserts, supported by continuously developed mould materials that are increasingly resilient and temperature resistant, enable the production of injection-moulded parts with comparatively little effort. This approach is intended to create a bridge between the flexibility of 3D printing and the reproducibility of traditional injection moulding. Visitors to the K trade fair can find out about possible applications at the HoliMaker stand through live demonstrations and direct discussions with the development team and the sales partner.

Integration of additive manufacturing and injection moulding

HoliMaker positions its manual injection moulding equipment as an interface between additive manufacturing and conventional plastics processing. The company underscores the role of 3D-printed mould inserts in accelerating the production of functional parts and small batches while maintaining the process characteristics of injection moulding.

“Numerous projects and discussions with 3D printing service providers and injection moulders repeatedly show me the enormous potential for cooperation between the two technologies,” emphasises Udo Eckloff, exclusive sales partner for Germany and Austria. “The combination of 3D-printed moulds and manual injection moulding with HoliPress has already been successfully tested. The real challenge lies in bringing together the different understandings of injection moulding processes and tool requirements. I see a great need for professional exchange in order to integrate 3D-printed moulds even more strongly into industrial injection moulding processes in the future.”

“The combination of 3D-printed tools with injection moulding opens up new possibilities for the fast and cost-efficient implementation of functional prototypes and small series,” adds Aurélien Stoky, Managing Director of HoliMaker SAS. “Our systems make it possible to test these approaches in real conditions on a laboratory scale or in training.”
