Review: In the last seven years the use of rapid prototyping technologies in the foundry industry has played an important part in the development of new materials and new systems aimed specifically at casting in its various forms. This book is based on a seminar held in 2001. It contains a wide range of rapid casting techniques, beginning with an overview of tried and tested processes. There are chapters on: techniques for magnesium die-casting applications; technologies for Ericsson Mobile Communications; EOS DMLS 20 micrometre tooling inserts for ‘clutch housing’ for Dyson; a rapid route for investment casting; the use of QuickCast for A-posts for a functional safety concept car; rapid prototyping with vacuum investment casting; direct shell sand rapid prototyping; and direct shell production casting.
