Abstract

FDM is an additive manufacturing technology that can be effectively used to make investment casting models. This method is considered economical in a single production, since it does not require the manufacturing of expensive equipment. However, the roughness of models surface made by FDM printing is significantly lower than wax models obtained by traditional way - using metal and elastic silicone molds, that ultimately affects the roughness of castings. In this work, was studied the use of FDM printing technology for materials: REC CAST, PVA and Wax3D from company the “Filamentarno!”, used in molds to obtain models, as well as a combined method for wax models production. FDM printing technology is especially suitable for producing models with internal channels and cavities through the use of water-soluble support materials.
