Abstract
Abstract: Presently the cost of investment casting via wax patterns is an expensive endeavor. Its costs are only justified if the end product is to be produced in high volumes, however for customized products or small Industries, the costs are not viable. In Pakistan, die manufacturing is especially costly due to the use of modern computerized machines like CNC machining and electric discharge machining (EDM). The cost of manufacturing increases significantly with the complexity of the die, the number of cavities, high surface quality requirements, and the number of undercuts. The purpose of this research is to use modern techniques to investigate the feasibility of dies manufacturing through rapid investment casting technique. 3D printing technology is used to make the patterns for casting of die. The research focuses on the differences in dimensions between the actual casted die, and the designed values.
