Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe systematically the best available evidence of Additive manufacturing (AM) technology for different casting paths and How Rapid Investment casting (RIC) is revolutionizing the field of casting. The objective of this systematic review is to investigate the capabilities and effectiveness of Additive Manufacturing to provide an effective solution for investment casting production. Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Mendeley, ScienceDirect databases are used for research purposes. The conventional method of Investment Casting is less effective in terms of cost and time to develop new hard tooling wax patterns for low volume production and prototypes. To overcome this problem, we introduced additive manufacturing for making patterns for investment casting. This paper reviews the specific applications of Rapid prototyping in the field of casting. After applying the inclusion criteria, we found 40 articles for reviewing. This study concluded that using Additive manufacturing in Investment casting in place of the conventional method is more cost- effective and time-efficient. Keywords: Additive Manufacturing, Rapid Investment Casting.
