Ceramics for Investment Casting Applications
Ceramics that can withstand the heat of molten metals and be chemically dissolved afterward
Investment Casting
REVITALIZING A PILLAR OF INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING
Investment casting supply chains have been shrinking for decades due to foundry consolidation, offshoring, and the economics of low-volume production. Conventional tooling can take more than a year, assuming a qualified supplier can be found at all. Ceramic 3D printing allows disposable ceramic cores, shells, and molds to be printed directly from digital design files, enabling the production of complex parts for critical applications within a fraction of typical lead times.
Key Benefits:
CERAMIC 3D PRINTING-POWERED INVESTMENT CASTING
- Tool-less manufacturing for rapid design iteration
- Design freedom enables complex geometries
- Casts achieve high dimensional accuracy
- Compresses lead times, often by several months
- Cost-efficient at low production volumes
Application Include:
Aerospace Turbine Components
Industrial Gas & Combustion Parts
Defense & Military Hardware
Complex Structural Castings
Engine & Drivetrain Components
