3D Printing Investment Casting As the technology matures, it becomes increasingly apparent that the greatest benefits of 3D printing often come indirectly. Its use in prototyping illustrates this most directly; the ability to iterate designs quickly or produce sample parts for customers leads to better products, even if most of these products are not themselves 3D printed. Additive manufacturing (AM)—3D printing in production—is emerging, but some of the best examples of its use remain indirect. https://www.investmentcastingpci.com/blog/what-is-3d-printing-investment-casting/

Defect Analysis and Remedial Measures of Investment Casting One of the biggest pitfalls of investment casting - cracks. In addition, there are some other defects in the production process of investment castings. Here, we will introduce them, analyze the causes and provide basic remedial solutions against them. Foundry production is a complex multi-step process. The occurrence of some investment casting defects caused by some wrong operations is avoided. Once it happens, how do we prevent it from happening? https://www.investmentcastingpci.com/blog/investment-casting-defects-analysis-and-remedies/

Forging and casting are two very different manufacturing methods. When casting something, the material is heated above its melting temperature, then poured into a mold to solidify. When something is forged, it is physically forced into shape while remaining solid - despite the constant heat it is subjected to.https://www.investmentcastingpci.com/blog/difference-between-casting-and-forging/
