I am searching for some information on cooling channels in direct AIM tools:
1) Can I use water cooling or is the humidity resistant of the
stereolithograpy tool to poor?
2) Do I need to use a special resin with better humidity resistant like 5530
from Ciba?
3) Has anybody done calculations on how close to the part cooling channels
can be situated without damaging the mould with a certain injection
pressure?

Ans 1 We would be pleased to quote you for a direct AIM tool in RPC 300ND
resin, this resin is moisture resistant and high temperature approx 120
degree C

Ans 2 Yes, we found 5530 had the same humidity resistance as 300ND when we
conducted plating trials.

Ans 3 We have not yet looked at this yet! do you want to conduct
collaborative trials?
