Investment Casting Patterns
Rapidly produced prototypes and parts through high-quality 3D printed casting patterns
Investment casting
Investment casting has been a reliable manufacturing technique for centuries, but 3D printing has recently accelerated the process.
You need a reliable and experienced team of additive manufacturers to make sure your investment casting project is completed to your standards and on your timeline.
Quickparts offers rapid production of casting patterns from its production facilities worldwide. With expert teams who have been producing investment casting patterns for more than 20 years, using additive platforms and materials that are being constantly refined and updated to meet ever more rigorous standards, we meet your needs for prototype and production-grade casting patterns.
How it Works
Investment casting, also known as lost-wax casting, involves creating a wax pattern that is then coated with a liquid ceramic layer and then a dry ceramic layer, which is then dried in environmentally controlled conditions. This shell is then filled with molten metal, which cools and solidifies into the desired part.
Through 3D printing and additive manufacturing techniques, Quickparts has drastically reduced the time and effort needed for investment casting. With two key 3D printing materials–SLA plastic and wax–that are fully industry-tested, your casting patterns can be completed in days or a couple of weeks, with little to no restriction on the size of the cast part.
Let us be your resource to determine which manufacturing process is right for your project.
