What is QuickCast™
QUICKCAST™ is a SLA build style that allows for the creation of direct shell investment castings patterns. The QuickCast™ method allows you to rapidly build highly accurate investment castings patterns, eliminating the expensive and time-consuming step of tooling when a limited number of castings is required. Instead of the SLA part being completely solid, QuickCast™ eliminates 95% of the internal mass of the part. This is achieved by curing only external surfaces and an internal lattice structure. Holes in the bottom of the part allow uncured resin to drain from the part. The result is a 65-80% hollow part with an internal lattice structure that gives the part structural integrity. QuickCast™ replaces traditional wax patterns for investment casting with patterns created in SLA material. During burnout, the QuickCast™ pattern collapses before the ceramic shell can crack. The QuickCast™ pattern will burn out in the investment casting process leaving little residue in the cavity that can easily be evacuated.
