Glossary of 3D Printing Terms

Casting Mold Printing Casting mold printing involves using 3D printing to create molds that are later used for casting materials like metal, silicone, or concrete. This technique is widely used in industries such as jewelry making, aerospace, and manufacturing. The molds are designed using CAD software and printed in materials like PLA or resin, which can withstand the casting process or be sacrificed during it. For example, in lost-wax casting, 3D-printed molds are burned out to create precise cavities for molten metal. This method allows for intricate designs, faster production, and reduced costs compared to traditional mold-making techniques. Post-processing, such as sanding or polishing, may be required to ensure the mold's surface quality. |
