Benefit from Time- and Cost-Saving Advantages

Vaupell Saves Time and Money with Accurate 3D Printed Casting Patterns

Vaupell produces investment casting patterns for high quality aerospace parts in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods with QuickCast™ SLA printing from 3D Systems and antimony free resins.

Our advanced software, hardware, and materials for 3D-printed investment casting patterns enable aerospace parts manufacturers to create complex casting patterns in a fraction of the time it takes to create molds using traditional tooling.

By using our additive manufacturing process, you can create hollow patterns that allow for greater design complexity, reduced component weight, and lower assembly costs.

Improve Investment Casting for Aerospace Parts Manufacturing

  • 3D Printed Pattern for Investment Casting

  • Create Stronger, More Reliable Patterns

    Our 3D-printed hollow casting patterns are strong enough to support parts during manufacturing. While durable, these patterns can still collapse under their own expansion, and their unique material and design allow for complete drainage.
  • Complex design for investment casting

  • Build Complex Design Features More Easily

    With greater design freedom and economy, you can produce incredibly complex casting patterns. Aerospace parts designers can also consolidate shapes to reduce component weight and assembly costs.
  • Car Engine

  • Reduce Lead Time

    Avoid the time and expense of using machine injection molding tools for casting patterns. Our tool-less casting pattern production allows you to create patterns for aerospace component manufacturing faster. In many cases, you can go from CAD model to low volumes of final casted parts within 48 hours.
