Investment Casting

Enhance manufacturing precision and increase efficiency in investment casting with advanced 3D printing

Investment casting, especially for complex ceramic foundry cores like those used in turbine blades, is revolutionized with CERAM PRO ceramic 3D printers by Prodways. Traditionally, core production was labor-intensive and time-consuming, involving manual assembly. 3D printing streamlines this by directly printing intricate, porous cores in one step, reducing labor costs, minimizing waste, and improving precision.

This technology accelerates development cycles, shortens lead times, and offers greater flexibility in adapting core designs, all while lowering production costs and enhancing overall efficiency.

Achieve Superior Precision with DLP Ceramic 3D Printing

DLP technology enables high-precision ceramic molds and cores for investment casting using photopolymer ceramic resins. This layer-by-layer curing process creates complex geometries, such as cooling channels and turbine blades, that are impossible with traditional methods.

After firing, the molds achieve the necessary hardness for high-temperature alloys in aerospace, medical, and energy applications. By eliminating wax models and tooling, this method reduces production time, labor, and post-processing, making it ideal for small, customized runs of critical components.
