Sintering Investment Casting
Selective Laser
Sintering Investment Castings is a dual process by which
Laser Sintering.com generates finely detailed and accurate 3D
prototypes. The SLS Investment casting machines fuse or sinter
thin layers of traditional waxes or other material using a laser
beam to create three dimensional prototypes. The wax assembly
is now dipped multiple times in a ceramic slurry, and the desired
metal is poured into the hot ceramic shell. The parts are individually
removed after the shell is removed and the mold cools. The SLS/IC
process has a wide selection of materials including Aluminum
319, 356 & 380; Bronze 421; Magnesium and ZA-12 (Zinc).
Investment
Castings are common in the fields of electronics, avionics,
aerospace, automotive, pump and valve applications and military
command equipment. Sintercasted parts are a wise investment
because they are exceptionally durable, and they'll also maintain
their material properties long after they're built. Producing
a pre-production durable casting of a part can significantly
enhance the geometric visualization of a product, as well
as communication among project team members. This physical
model can be use for photo-optic stress analysis as well as
dynamic vibrational analysis, which further extends engineering
design capabilities.
