How do you use 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing/QuickCast to help with your projects? ICS is a captive foundry, supplying stainless steel investment castings to Girard Equipment, Inc., manufacturer of vents and valves for the bulk liquid transport industry. We asked ICS Foundry Manager Bill Laiacono a few questions about the industry and how they use additive manufacturing for their business. More specifically, the work we do for Girard helps them create short run metal prototypes for the tanker trailer industry and when they reach out to us we are able to supply them with fast turnaround, high- quality QuickCast patterns. These individual SLA patterns are used by foundries as part of a process called investment casting which will produce one metal part for every SLA pattern used. This type of work is unique from a standard SLA job because in the end, the pattern will be used to make a metal part. We help ICS and Girard Equipment by providing them with QuickCast patterns created from one of our SLA machines. Hydraulic Housing, A60 Resin and cast 316 stainless, side by side.

#QUICKCAST PATTERNS CRACKED#
Not only does this give the pattern rigidity, but it also allows the structure to collapse upon itself during the burnout process, minimizing the risk of a cracked shell.
#QUICKCAST PATTERNS SKIN#
A Quickcast pattern is an SLA model, but differs in that it has a thin skin that surrounds a matrixed internal structure. Utilizing a highly specialized build-style known as QuickCast, foundries have access to an alternative solution to traditional wax patterns, which can be expensive and time consuming to produce. Using Stereolithography 3D Printing technology, more commonly referred to as SLA, Realize has the ability and expertise to create investment casting patterns for foundries.
