text: Additive Manufacturing has arisen as a ground-breaking set of technologies
that, thanks to their capability of continuous improvements in performance and
cost-efficiency, was able in the last years to replace well-established manufacturing
processes. Proficiency in the fabrication of highly complex parts forced this
astonishing development. This research is based on the idea that through the integration
of additive and conventional manufacturing technologies it is possible to achieve
great cost and operational benefits especially in the field of tool making for
injection molding. Such an integrated manufacturing solution could overcome the
limitations of independent additive, subtractive, and post-processing procedures
by strengthening their potentialities. The present study highlights the opportunities
of a synergy between the above-mentioned manufacturing technologies for the optimized
fabrication of injection molds. An additive manufacturing process chain is presented,
and special attention is given to the surface quality and its optimization directly
in the Selective Laser Melting process. The potentialities of the Laser Surface
Re-melting technique are analyzed, and the process optimization leads to a reduction
of 45% of the average roughness directly in the SLM process. (C) 2019, IFAC (International
