CastForm PS
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.
