Recently, research team in Georgia has invented most innovative style of investment casting. The process was invented thousands of years back but traditional style were adopted by manufacturers that were highly time consuming and expensive too. As per traditional manufacturing process, metal is first melted down properly then poured into molds until it does not get solidified.

Creation of casting components involves six operations that are quiet expensive and demands for various tools and machine dies. In contrast, expert team is Georgia have invented one digital process for the same where CAD data will be utilized to cast most precise components with ease. In this modern world when everything is going digital how we can forget about investment castings.

This will be great news for Investment casting manufacturers too as casting process can be completed with ease and most conveniently. The process is carried out by mold building into multiple layers where UV lights are projected carefully on ceramic particles and converted down into solid shape selectively.

For the mold formation, remaining ceramic content is poured inside furnace to produce more accurate and precise metal castings. The digital process is even good for creating most complex metal structures that fundamentally transforms the style how castings are developed. The experts make sure that digital casting process will lower down the casting costs too up to 25 percent and eliminates tooling costs too up to 100 percent.

Metal doesn’t get wasted and surface finishing is also higher as compared to traditional casting techniques. Further, process can be completed in much less time and this is cost – effective too. This digital process will be effective for many years to come and digital foundries would also be created based on the same concept by Investment casting manufacturers. In near future, most of the manufacturing processes would be based on CAD systems.
