Clear Cast Resin is a resin designed for investment casting, to directly print patterns that can be invested and cast. It has an extremely low thermal expansion, low ash, and no trace heavy metals.

Clear Cast Resin, paired with a latticing software, is recommended for use with larger parts, excelling at producing geometries thicker than 3 mm.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

3D print accurate, low ash patterns for investment casting directly in house.

Accessible pattern production in-house

Clear Cast Resin on Formlabs SLA printers enables direct production of casting patterns in-house which reduces costs, decreases turnaround times, and improves flexibility in iterating and production.

Clean Burnout

Clear Cast Resin achieves a clean burnout with low ash and no trace metals, leaving nothing to contaminate the final cast part.

Low Thermal Expansion

Best in class thermal expansion for reliable casting shells with minimal cracking.

Accurate and Versatile

Create accurate patterns within 0.25 mm of the design. Compatible with any metal or shelling system, allowing foundries to cast new designs in record time

Built from Experience

Formlabs has produced industry leading investment casting resins for large, 3rd party SLA printers at its state of the art manufacturing facility in Ohio, and leveraged this experience in developing Clear Cast Resin for its own SLA printers.

Workflow for 3D Printing Investment Casting Patterns

3D printed patterns can be used to directly replace the molded wax patterns typically used for investment casting allowing for complex geometries, and faster iterations without dedicated tooling. The process for creating a 3D printed pattern is typically:

Shell, lattice, and add drain holes to the part with a tool like Materialise Magics or Formware
Orient, support, and slice the pattern in PreForm
Print the pattern
Wash, post-cure, and remove supports
Plug any drain holes with wax or cure a small amount of Clear Cast Resin over the hole
Attach the pattern to a casting tree and proceed with the rest of the casting process
