The Application of Computer Simulation, Industrial CT and DLS RP for the rapid development of casting pilot models

신속한 주물 시제품 개발을 위한 전산모사 기술과 산업용 단층촬영기 및 쾌속표형기의 적용

Direct laser sintering (DLS) technology for the resign coated sand is one of attractive technologies to produce molds and cores for the foundry industry rapidly and cost effectively. The objective of this case study is to develop casting pilot models using computer simulation technology, DLS RP machine and industrial computed tomography. The proposed casting design was verified by the Z-Cast software in the fields of fluid flow and solidification during the casting process. Casting parts with aluminum alloy using the post-curing treated sand moulds and cores are accurate to dimension and defect free.
