Casting - Dimension Works

Acquire precision and detail with 3D printed patterns for casting. Whether you need patterns for rapid prototyping or production for an investment casting process, you can seamlessly integrate them into dip-shell or flask-type investment casting. Reduce costs in material and finishing time with patterns that deliver superior detail for investment casting.

Casting patterns are an ideal solution for foundry production of small, large, or complex metal parts. 3D printed patterns offer a faster, more accurate alternative to traditional pattern production methods.

A few examples of 3D Casting applications:

Sand casting patterns
Sand molds and cores
Lost wax patterns
Investment casting patterns

High Volume Investment Casting

Deliver exceptionally crisp detail and a smooth surface finish when printing patterns. EC300 provides clean burnout that delivers foolproof casting with standard investments.

Best Solutions:

ETEC D4K PRO and EnvisionTEC EC3000

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Tooling

Quickly develop prototype MIM parts for customer demonstration and validation testing. The material properties of FIM parts have been shown to closely match those produced with conventional steel tools, ensuring accurate performance evaluation.

Best Solutions:

Protoype Casting Patterns

Select PolyCast, engineered for a clean burn out from ceramic investment molds, to obtain a typical ash residue of <0.003% providing a clean internal surface for metal casting.

Best Solutions:

Ultimaker S5 and Polymaker Polycast

Sand casting patterns

Create patterns for sand casting utilizing large format printing, shortening the production times over traditional methods.

Our 3DP printer from Dimension Works has been a game-changer. Being able to 3D print curved prototype tooling in strong materials has made operators’ work much easier, freeing up resources, and increasing overall productivity. Using our printer to test and prove designs with a functional prototype, while saving time and money, is a win.
