The cross-use of science and technology is mostly complementary. The design and mold manufacturing in the wax mold making process of stainless steel precision casting are more complicated and time-consuming, but rapid prototyping technology can make up for this shortcoming. Using rapid prototyping technology alone is a Because material restrictions cannot be implemented, in recent years, many use polymer technology to obtain the round shape of the casting, and then manufacture wax molds, which are used in stainless steel precision casting.

The cross-use of science and technology is mostly complementary. The design and mold manufacturing in the wax mold making process of stainless steel precision casting are more complicated and time-consuming, but rapid prototyping technology can make up for this shortcoming. Using rapid prototyping technology alone is a Because material restrictions cannot be implemented, in recent years, many use polymer technology to obtain the round shape of the casting, and then manufacture wax molds, which are used in stainless steel precision casting.

For example, light curing stereo modeling technology (SLA) and selective laser sintering technology (SLS), these two technologies are relatively mature technologies currently used in conjunction with investment casting. SLA technology can provide high dimensional accuracy, especially for parts For the accuracy of the outer surface, SLS is slightly cheaper in raw materials to a certain extent, but the accuracy also has a certain gap compared with SLA technology, which is suitable for some casting work with cost requirements.

However, in the process of use, attention should still be paid to controlling the key combination of rapid prototyping technology and stainless steel precision casting technology, such as comprehensive consideration of cost control and casting accuracy of parts, and choosing the appropriate balance point is rapid prototyping technology and investment casting technology. The key issue of organic integration.
