As a prominent figure in the casting industry, you undoubtedly understand the challenges that traditional metal casting processes encounter. Many of these challenges lurk beneath the surface, often stemming from a failure to accurately pinpoint viable solutions. At Divide By Zero, we've delved deeply into the intricacies of the casting sector, meticulously identifying its myriad hurdles. In response to these challenges, we present many compelling reasons to embrace 3D Printing within the casting industry.


3D printing Services can be used for casting in several ways, including:

  • Creating molds: 3D printing can be used to create molds that can be used for casting. The 3D printed mold can be used to make multiple castings, reducing the time and cost required to create traditional molds.


  • Direct casting: 3D printing can also be used to directly cast parts using a process called investment casting. In this process, a 3D printed part is coated with a ceramic material and then burned out, leaving a cavity in the ceramic shell. Molten metal can then be poured into the cavity to create the final casting.


  • Pattern making: 3D printing can be used to create patterns that can be used to make sand molds for casting. The 3D printed pattern is placed in a flask and sand is packed around it. The pattern is then removed, leaving a cavity in the sand that can be filled with molten metal.


  • Tooling: 3D printing can be used to create tooling for casting processes such as die casting and investment casting. The 3D printed tool can be used to create multiple castings, reducing the time and cost required to create traditional tooling.


Overall, 3D printing can offer many benefits for casting processes, including faster lead times, lower costs, and increased design flexibility.
