This article aims to obtain new and unique knowledge in the field of additively manufactured shaped mold parts within their operational application in high-pressure casting of aluminum alloy castings. Part of the work is the mapping of the service life of conventional and additively produced shapes parts of molds. The evaluation of operational experiments was focused on mapping the life cycle with the help of 3D measurements and contactless scanning. Within the text, attention is also paid to the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach related to quality control, material, and metallographic analysis to verify the application possibilities of additively manufactured shaped parts of molds in the operating conditions of a die-casting foundry.

Keywords: 3D scanning, 3D CNC CMM, additive printing, dimensional and shape analysis, material and metallographic analysis
