Optimize Your Investment Casting with Advanced Ceramic 3D Printing

Investment casting, also known as lost-wax casting, is an ancient and evolving industrial production technique. With the integration of CERAM PRO ceramic 3D printers by Prodways, the method has undergone significant innovation, enabling faster, more precise, and more efficient production of ceramic molds.

By leveraging additive manufacturing (AM), molds or ceramic cores can now be 3D printed directly, eliminating traditional wax modeling steps. This transformation not only removes the need for complex tooling but also enhances geometric freedom, reduces waste, and lowers production costs.

Unlock Unmatched Precision with DLP Ceramic 3D Printing

DLP technology enables high-precision ceramic molds and cores for investment casting, using photopolymer ceramic resins. The layer-by-layer light curing process allows for complex geometries like cooling channels and turbine blades that are impossible with traditional methods. After drying and firing, the molds achieve the necessary hardness for casting high-temperature alloys used in aerospace, medical, and energy industries.

This approach eliminates wax models and tooling, reduces production time and labor, and ensures excellent surface finish with minimal post-processing, making it ideal for small, customized runs of critical components.
