The QuickCast method can cost-effectively deliver complex metal prototypes in about two weeks. Quasi-hollow stereolithography parts made from a clean burning photopolymer are directly invested in ceramic or plaster. The QuickCast patterns are then sublimated from the shell, allowing for investment casting of aluminum, stainless steel, bronze, or other ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This process eliminates expensive tooling and quickly delivers metal parts with increasing accuracy and complexity, especially when only a few parts are required.

QuickCast Highlights

QuickCast Patterns are the ideal choice for:

• Quick and cost-effective metal prototypes
• Low volumes of parts without tooling

Material choices include

• Aluminum
• Stainless steel
• Bronze
• Other ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Dimensional tolerances:

• +/- 0.020” – 0.040”

Turn-around:

• 1 to 3 days for patterns and 2 to 3 weeks for castings

Quantities:

• Best value: 1-10 parts

Finishing types:

• 3A level finish for outside surfaces
• 2A level finish on interior surfaces
