It looks professional. Surely for rapid prototype instead of mass production. The ceramic paste may contain fast drying agent and extra strength. I think, connect a 3D hard wax printer with it will be able to automatically produce small batch.
sls printers can melt powered machine wax, sll printers (most of them) can be used aswell, but this is hidiously expensive (but nice results and reasonably fast) if you go somewhat more diy, the machine wax is very thin at around 70 degrees, making it possible to print it using piezo inkjet heads, as found in epson (i believe) inkjet printers. this can produce fantastic quality parts.
Very, very impressive. Less than ten hours from wax to finish product. That Cyclone Unit is the whip. Imagine that automated investment casting. What next?
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Cain Jad thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
He says instead of wax master moulds, we can use 3d printed (SLA/FDM) master moulds. As far as I know this would be done with plastic, but can the plastic be melted out of the ceramic shell like wax? Please do let me know, thank you.
SLA plastic tends to flame and burn instead of melt. It is more likely to crack the shell during heat expansion. Quikcast and other SLA print formations attempt to reduce the expansion force of the plastic, still your shell should be built stronger than what you would normally build for wax patterns.
Im confused by the claim that the shell would crack if it was made any other way... why would it crack? Shell casting has worked well for many years without cracking during melt out...
The temperature they use here is very low, 150C. This will cause slow expansion of the whole wax pattern before it melts, cracking the shell. In a normal burnout (if not using a dewaxing autoclave), the temperature should be close to 1000C, so that the wax melts out first on a thin outer layer and drain out, before letting the whole pattern warm up, expand, and crack the shell. So their secret must be a stronger shell, maybe it has additives.
yes. check out our video doing exactly that. TH-cam won't let me link it here so search youtube for 3dtopo you'll see a video called "Lost PLA Casting" There is a short and long version. Watch the long if you want step by step instructions.
I am not sure about the material coz it depends on 3-D printer we use.. for instance Projet -1200 and 3500 series 3-D printer are used in making wax pattern for jwellery and dental application for its precise accuracy..
Title is completely misleading. Video has nothing to do with use of 3D printing of the wax master. Wax is actually shown being cast in a silicon mold, not from 3D printing. System shown is an automated investment casting machine, but one that has too small a capacity and too limited in materials to be economically efficient. The robot and slurry tank mechanisms shown are an unsurvivable joke...they would break down within days of continuous operation, from the abrasiveness of the slurry. Foolish unprotected designs.
LOOOOL! 1:01
That's the cylinder head cover from my old Aprilia Rs 125 Rotax engine!
Awesome!

how long the time needs to melt the aluminum or stainless steel before it is pouring into the shell?
Jay Leno educated me about the process
sounds great, what kind of 3D Printer does that or which material is used on it?
How to make the silicon mold without a metal die? Can I make the silicon mold with 3D printing?
Fascinating. Thanks for the post.
sir thanks for the video can you please explain which materials are used for the dipping it would be great if you reply 😊

Can the wax or stucco or sand be re used?
How do you go about doing the silicone mold?

@Cain Jad it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
@King Logan Happy to help :D
Sir, may I get profarma invoice with complete details.
the wax itself can be printed itself aswel, this is however only usefull for single piece prototyping

Ya available contact 3d systems

I work doing just the dipping no machine all done by hand

which material use for 3d Printing die

Reminds me of Westworld
Great for prototyping but …
