The analysis of the wax foundry models fabrication process for the CPX3000 device
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents possibilities of creating wax founding models by means of CPX3000 device. The device is used for Rapid Prototyping of models made of foundry wax in an incremental process. The paper also presents problems connected with choosing technological parameters for incremental shaping which influence the accuracy of created models. Issues connected with post-processing are also described. This process is of great importance for obtaining geometrically correct models. The analysis of parameters of cleaning models from supporting material is also presented. At present CPX3000 printer is the first used in Poland device by 3D Systems firm for creating wax models. The printer is at The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Rzeszów University of Technology.
