Investment Casting Patterns | 3D Printing SLA Parts

Tool-less patterns made with 3D printing open opportunities to increase foundry business by making investment casting more viable for customers. An alternative to wax and wood, patterns made with Stereolithography technology significantly reduce lead times and eliminate high tooling costs.

With excellent pattern accuracy and repeatability at less expense than conventional methods, 3D printed patterns translate to higher yields during casting. Additionally, design changes can be easily incorporated into production, and gating systems can be proven prior to production tooling being built. Our print method results in patterns 25% lighter than conventional patterns, translating to proportionately less ash and minimized CTE forces during flash firing.
