abstract = "In the last decade, owing to its accessibility, additive technologies have been occupying an increasingly significant percentage share in the production of new components. Whether it pertains to the creation of prototypes, test or final tools, and even direct manufacturing, additive technologies can be found in all spheres of product development. One of the key advantages of additive technologies is reducing the final cost due to the relatively low cost of implementing said technology. For this reason, it's not surprising that recent research in the field of additive technologies frequently focuses on rapid tooling, specifically on injection molding parts. By reducing the cost of tools, a substantial impact can be made on the final product's cost and, consequently, on market competitiveness. However, the application of additive technologies in the realm of polymer injection molding is not straightforward and presents numerous challenges. Given that this involves creating polymer parts within a tool that is also made of polymer, the task can be exceptionally complex. Physical properties such as material density or the interaction between two polymers can adversely influence the polymer injection molding process within a polymeric insert. This paper will present the influence of two types of polymers (PP and HDPE) on manufacturing (injection molding) parameters and the potential of their application in the rapid tooling.",
