Description
CastForm PS material allows you to quickly create complex investment casting patterns in your SLS system. It’s faster, more convenient, and more versatile than the traditional tooling process — and it gives you the flexibility to make more modifications in less time. Count on foundry-wax performance, plus. Patterns created with CastForm PS material are low density (45% dense); you infiltrate them with foundry wax to create a pattern that’s easy to handle and finish. CastForm material patterns require few modifications to standard foundry practices, and remove quickly and easily. Plus they’re compatible with autoclaves, low-temperature furnaces, and vacuum plaster casting methods. CastForm material’s low ash content (<0.02%) makes it ideal for patterns for casting reactive metals such as titanium; it has also been used successfully with low melt-temperature metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and zinc.
