3D Systems’ QuickCast Air (at left) is an advanced tool for designing 3D-printed polymer patterns (right) for investment casting, to maximize material removal from the interior of casting patterns. This enables reduced material consumption, lower pattern costs, faster build times, cleaner burnout processes, and improved draining efficiency.
