3DP Ceramic Filters Streamline Metal Flow
BLASCH PRECISION PRODUCTS’ ProCaster™ 3D-printed ceramic filters are engineered to improve molten metal filtration by delivering superior inclusion removal, controlled metal flow, and consistent casting performance. Manufactured using advanced additive manufacturing and high-performance ceramic materials, ProCaster™ filters feature a precision-engineered lattice structure that minimizes turbulence, improves mold fill, and provides repeatable filtration performance for demanding casting and atomizing applications.
Among the critical benefits of ProCaster™ 3D-printed ceramic filters are:
- No line-of-sight flow paths, helping to reduce inclusions and improve metal cleanliness
- Predictable flow and reduce turbulence, to support consistent mold filing and casting quality
- Repeatable 3D-printed geometry delivers reliable filtration performance from part to part
- Excellent mechanical strength resists chipping, flaking, and friability
- Multiple ceramic compositions available for ferrous and non-ferrous applications
- Designed to withstand demanding foundry operating conditions
The same additive manufacturing technology and high-performance ceramic materials that enable superior filtration also unlock opportunities well beyond molten metal processing. Their open-porosity, high-temperature structure makes them ideal for use as catalyst supports, heat distributors, sintering fixtures, and a wide range of other demanding industrial applications.
Many processes require custom-engineered ceramic components designed to meet specific performance requirements. Drawing upon several decades of materials expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities, Blasch develops customized solutions for both established and emerging applications.
