For crayons manufacturing are often used big mold from steel. These molds are good for mass production, however they tend to be expensive and not suitable for low volume of production. Goal of this paper is to figure out, if these molds can be created by additive manufacturing technique, what materials are suitable for the job and how final products compare with products on the market manufactured with traditional methods.
