Abstract : For the manufacturing of composite parts, metal molds are widely used which incur huge cost and long lead time
of production. In this research, additively manufactured PETG molds are proposed for the manufacturing of composite parts.
The research article presents a technique to study the deviation in the dimensions of additively manufactured PETG mold
due to the shrinkage. Three molds of the PETG material are manufactured, which dimensions are measured using the digital
vernier caliper. The deviation in the measured and CAD model dimensions are calculated. Shrinkage allowance is
determined and incorporated in the CAD model. The new mold is printed, which have reduced shrinkage in the mold. Hence
the research can be applied for the manufacturing of composite materials in the industry, especially to produce customized
composite parts with low cost.
