3D Printed Patterns For Metal Casting

[@StuffWithKirby]

Great video! It was neat seeing the steps. The layer lines looked neat when in brass on the sculpture part.

[@samuelmdouglas]

This is super impressive, and 3 yes old I can only imagine where the technology is now

[@scottwilliams895]

This was an Ad (before a CNC Kitchen video). But I watched the whole thing anyway! Then I sought out the vid, to give you this: 👍

[@Javierm0n0]

This is pretty wicked.

[@سیدابوالفضلمصطفویاصفهانی]

Great video I have a question what are the ingredients of mortar that we use to seal

[@MetalVomit]

It's called econset.

[@hjartland]

I want to see the ring gear milled down to spec. Then try it on an old axle. Not too big of a job. A machinist to grind / mill it. And an old car's / truck's axle. See how it holds up to some shocks. Try to break it. This is a cool idea for prototyping a cast piece.

[@iamvector5572]

What kind of glue using this method?

[@louliveeverest]

interest filament. At what temperature does it disintegrate in celsius? thank

[@mmnyako]

Thanks for sharing.

[@InsideTheMindOfMatt]

Hey this stuff looks like it's right up my alley I'll have to get a hold of some of this and review it on my channel ;)

[@jmsaltzman]

0:48 ow ow ow. Otherwise fascinating, thanks for sharing

[@Ash-bx6kq]

@Joey Brodie fucking stop

[@silverhead8243]

Great job

[@sysdumb32]

How much would it cost to make a couple parts out of an aluminum alloy And doing this with cheap kinda badly made appliances?

[@EndermanTheMan]

Thanks, I’m a local Coloradan and I didn’t know of any local metal foundries!

[@Tomtom9401]

But how are you controlling shrinkage when printing the parts with crucial tolerances?

[@paxtoncargill4661]

>casting >crucial tolerances pick one buddy

[@Tomtom9401]

Paxton Cargill the video literally says dimensional accuracy in the first 15 seconds lol

[@renosgarage7451]

@@paxtoncargill4661 investment casting can provide amazing precision when done correctly, this isnt sand casting.

[@Perun_72]

​@@renosgarage7451Pressure casting?

[@wi4305]

Can I just simply print an item and pour aluminum in it without thoes extra steps?

[@grandpaobvious]

Sure. Have a fire extinguisher handy.

[@wi4305]

@@grandpaobvious Im talking about green sand.

[@ScottTheAngel]

Can you put this in a sand mold and poor in molten metal and have it burn off as the metal goes down?

[@Nerdule]

It wouldn't be a great idea because as the plastic vaporized it'd create gases and, therefore, bubbles.

[@keithmizell604]

You can. Must ensure metal feeds from bottom and design your print and/or vents to allow gasses to exit directly out top

[@samuelbilow6092]

I have been using a form2 with castablewax. It's very good but as you may be aware the maximum size 5.7 x5.7 x6.9 inch is limiting. pla printers have a much bigger print volume. I would be very interested to try this new filament in a large bed printer. Using green sand maxes out at around 4 undercuts therefore 4 mold parts at my skill level and accuracy is questionable with regular PLA. A 2 part simple mold is best for green sand.

[@gaarner]

I’d like to buy a printer do make pattern foundry. What technology is better, sla, fdm or other one?

[@samuelbilow6092]

@@gaarner formlabs.com "form3L" model is the best 3d printer for this task with castable wax. The form3L will be released soon. I hope you can afford it. It's dlp which is very similar to sla.

[@AwesomeCreationOfficial]

Very Nice

[@dickycrown8580]

thanks for sharing this video !

[@timbrown2164]

Wao, Really Nice to see the whole Working Process of 3D Printed Patterns For Metal Casting. This Technology is really incredible. I know a well reputed Vaccum Casting & 3D Printing Service Provider in India as Binashree. Who know any other Organisation Comment here. Lets See how many 3D Printing and Metal Casting Service provider are in Our Country.

[@909treeo]

How much would this cost?

[@Lulzbot3D]

Just buy a 3D printer and material. From there it would work best to partner with a local foundry.

[@Zeraan1337]

Gotta actually run the parts or what's the point

[@thombaz]

It would shatter into many pieces.

[@hjartland]

Yeah it is neat. But no testing = pretty sculpture. Not functional car part.

[@civiprepper]

​@@hjartland Why would it be weaker than any other lost wax casting? They are not claiming it would be better than a milled/machined products are they. The point they are making is that its dimensionally stable, whereas pla is both dirty and warps in printing. So instead of running the part as proof perhaps it would be better to get come callipers out and support this?

[@hjartland]

@@civiprepper then make a cube, sphere, or other geometric shape? Casting gears typically means they should be useable. It seems like we are looking at this in 2 very different ways. Neither wrong, just different

[@civiprepper]

@@hjartland indeed. Yes I would have thought printing some geometric shapes would be useful, and you're also write in your original comment.

[@kamingcheng4830]

Why not printing metal parts directly?

[@jmsaltzman]

Takes a special nozzle ;)

[@powderslinger5968]

Because he does not have a $50,000 laser sintering metal printer?

[@wolfgangkramer7228]

Echt megacool 👊🏼 👍🏼 🖤

[@noobrefinisher5443]

id like to get into 3d printing and casting

[@gingermanc]

Try getting some pewter ;) you can melt it on a camp stove

[@peglegnoid6139]

Only good for short run production and proto-type.

[@leahannwhite1111]

👍💓!!!

[@thombaz]

Next time print something usable, not a turbo that will never work.

[@GrafTrahula]

connecting rod may be usefull. also you can make nice oil gallery in them.

[@thombaz]

@@MissMerc 1. It's made from the wrong metal 2. 3D printed parts are not even close to the dimension acuracy that a turbo needs, even in professional castings they need to machine the housing 3. A casted turbine? It's more likely to be a vibrator than a turbine. I know this is a "proof of concept" but It's a bad proof for a never working concept.

[@thombaz]

@@MissMerc Im not gonna argue with someone who don't give a f about facts. 1. It's NOT just the housing, WATCH THE VIDEO before talking bs. 2. I have actually held a pretty cool watch in my hand once, I think I'm a watchmaker now. You know there is a different betwen lulzbot (hobby) and a professional printer which cost a bit more. It can be machined, ( Well, I would throw it in the first trashbin, because it's a terryble unaccurate cast)but then what is the point? It's very slow compered to other methods, more work and much more money. You can cast a part much more easier then this, and much more accurate. 3. Dude, stop, google how a turbine looks like. I don't know if you do casting, cnc milling, and 3d printing, but It's seems like you don't know much about either of it. But if you do, you can make one and try it, but I would not waste my time with it.

[@thombaz]

@@MissMerc Fuk me, I'm the stupid one here, they really not made the turbine.

[@MrDapperGent]

@@MissMerc What CNC mill would you recommend? Also what 3D printer do you use?

[@paxtoncargill4661]

yeah lemme just print a turbo

[@stimsfx2177]

Quelle bordel pour pas être tourneur fraiseur

[@jasonvoorhees9585]

Turboooooo

[@powderslinger5968]

Iso DOES NOT SMOOTH PLA! Nothing but coatings can do that~

[@cyberblade6669]

Methylene Chloride

[@saschathiede]

But it's not PLA, it's PVB! Therefore it can be solved by alcohol such as IPA.
