World Conference on Investment Casting

Reduce manufacturing costs and lead times while delivering complex patterns in hours with our 3D printing solutions for investment casting.

Enabling the creation of the Digital Foundry, 3D Systems’ technology yields competitive advantages for those adopting digital processes, powered by 3D printing.

3D printed investment casting patterns deliver the same high quality casting outcomes, but allow:

• Tool-less production of complex patterns in hours
• Dramatic cost savings of up to 90%
• Mitigated risk for part design updates
• Individual part geometry customization or variation
• Fast and easy production of complex geometries
• Higher design complexity only possible through additive process
• True-to-CAD pattern accuracy and smooth surfaces
