On May 7, 2025, at 3:30 PM, Vincent Icart, COO of Prodways Machines, will host a conference at the EICF Annual Conference & Exhibition, the leading European event for the investment casting industry. This will be an opportunity to engage in the ongoing discussion on advancing AM technologies for investment casting, offering valuable insights into the next generation of materials and processes designed to meet the industry’s evolving demands.

Addressing Key Challenges in Investment Casting

The investment casting (IC) industry is increasingly adopting additive manufacturing (AM) techniques to push the boundaries of design complexity and precision. However, for high-performance applications such as single-crystal casting, integrating AM into IC workflows presents unique challenges. Ensuring both scalability and material compatibility is critical to overcoming these hurdles.

Innovative Developments in Photocurable Slurries

This presentation will focus on the development of a silica-loaded photocurable slurry optimized for top-down Digital Light Processing (DLP) printing. While research in AM slurries has been ongoing, few studies have successfully addressed the dual challenge of optimizing materials for both AM processes and IC performance.

Through advancements in material chemistry and process optimization, this study aims to demonstrate that the newly developed slurry not only enables the production of high-quality printed parts but also ensures their compatibility with investment casting workflows.

EICF 2025: The Premier Investment Casting Event

As the most significant congress in Europe dedicated to investment casting, the EICF Annual Conference & Exhibition serves as a platform for industry experts to exchange knowledge, showcase innovations, and set new technological standards. With a strong reputation for driving forward AM solutions in IC, Prodways Machines continues to shape the future of precision manufacturing.
