Now the folks at FormLabs have turned the whole ‘casting metal and 3D printer’ thing on its head: they’re printing sacrificial molds to cast pewter. There are two techniques demonstrated in ...

Witness the fascinating process of iron casting using sand molds, where molten metal takes shape with precision. Skilled professionals carefully pour and refine each cast, ensuring strength and ...

The print is carefully sanded down and post-processed to be highly smooth, so that it doesn’t spoil the mold when its removed for the casting process. From there, a sand casting mold is built ...

Rapid prototyping uses three-dimensional (3D) computer aided design to quickly fabricate a part or, alternatively, a sand mold for casting a part from metal. Currently there are many limitations with ...
