Use Less Resin and Support Structures To Lower Costs and Create Efficiencies
QuickCast Air is an advanced tool that supports the creation of lightweight, hollow parts with resin-based printers to produce the casting of end-use metal components. It automatically optimizes material efficiency in patterns to achieve maximum efficiencies in material reduction and process speed improvements. These material and time efficiencies transform the 3D printed cost model for casting end-use parts compared to traditional injection molded wax patterns.

Maximizes Weight Reduction
QuickCast Air builds improve part production by making the most efficient hollow parts possible.
- Experience up to a 50% reduction in resin usage depending on the parts geometries
- Patterns weigh a fraction of those produced from traditional methods or bulkier build styles while retaining parity in strength
- Walls are self-supporting with fewer structures making the draining and burnout processes more efficient
- Fewer structures makes it easier to drain
- Less resin is wasted or lost during downstream post-printing
-
Faster Turnaround Times
The build style QuickCast Air is designed to optimize casting patterns by creating mostly hollow structures that significantly reducing the need for internal supports.
- Fewer support structures makes the printing process faster
- Less vectors to print results in shorter draw times
- Resin drains faster due to fewer support structures
This innovative build style not only accelerates your manufacturing process but increases your capacity to produce more builds per year.
