QuickCast Air™

Use Less Resin and Support Structures To Lower Costs and Create Efficiencies

QuickCast Air is an advanced tool that supports the creation of lightweight, hollow parts with resin-based printers to produce the casting of end-use metal components. It automatically optimizes material efficiency in patterns to achieve maximum efficiencies in material reduction and process speed improvements. These material and time efficiencies transform the 3D printed cost model for casting end-use parts compared to traditional injection molded wax patterns.

Maximizes Weight Reduction
QuickCast Air builds improve part production by making the most efficient hollow parts possible.
Experience up to a 50% reduction in resin usage depending on the parts geometries
Patterns weigh a fraction of those produced from traditional methods or bulkier build styles while retaining parity in strength
Walls are self-supporting with fewer structures making the draining and burnout processes more efficient
Fewer structures makes it easier to drain
Less resin is wasted or lost during downstream post-printing
Faster Turnaround Times
The build style QuickCast Air is designed to optimize casting patterns by creating mostly hollow structures that significantly reducing the need for internal supports.
Fewer support structures makes the printing process faster
Less vectors to print results in shorter draw times
Resin drains faster due to fewer support structures
This innovative build style not only accelerates your manufacturing process but increases your capacity to produce more builds per year.

Improved ROI

Easy Processing
3D Sprint and the QuickCast Air add-on streamlines your 3D printing process, making it easier to handle right out of the printer.
Effortlessly adjust the shell thickness
Place vent drains on any to reduce the need for manual hole drilling and minimize breakage risks
QuickCast Air seamlessly integrates with QuickCast Diamond™ to maximize the strength of each pattern type for various shapes within cast patterns
Unmatched flexibility and efficiency in designing casting patterns with fewer internal structures.

QuickCast Air is an advanced tool that is an add-on for 3D Sprint software. This feature is available via an annual subscription that allows customers to design casting patterns with fewer structures within the self-supporting walls. QuickCast Air offers a significant advancement in digital foundry solutions, enabling faster, cost-effective production of complex cast parts and demonstrating a commitment to improving investment casting efficiency.
