•    Description:  Due to additive manufacturing (AM) technology’s ability to produce components from high performance materials with added functionalities and increased complexity,AM perfectly fits with the requirements for producing extrusion dies, tools, and inserts. AM can process many metallic materials to produce full dense parts with outstanding properties, the most important being at the industrial scale, represented by steels, aluminum, and titanium alloys, as well as Ni-based superalloys and CoCr. This paper addresses the general use of AM in metals and tooling applications, with a specific look at the development of a 3D-printed cooling insert for extrusion dies.
