Additive manufacturing is an ideal process for quickly and efficiently creating molds used in pouring and vacuum casting. These methods allow a tool to be used either repeatedly produce parts composing of thermosetting resins, or sacrificially for a one-time production of cast metal parts.
This workshop focuses on how to design direct and indirect tools with 3D printing, and how pouring and vacuum casting processes function.
Participants that have completed this workshop will fulfill the prerequisite to take part in the prototyping lab project for direct and indirect tooling.
Throughout the semester, independent projects can be built in the campus rapid prototyping lab with the use of large format 3D printers, soldering irons, lathes, milling machines, welders and much more.
