Printing Models from Polymethyl Methacrylate: Simplifying and Accelerating the Creation of Burnout Patterns

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) 3D printing significantly streamlines and accelerates the production of burnout patterns. Models printed using this technology have a unique property: during burnout, they collapse without damaging the ceramic shell.

Advantages of Using PMMA 3D Printing for Investment Casting:

• Full replacement of master patterns for both investment and burnout casting methods.
• No excessive pressure is created inside the ceramic shell by PMMA.
• Minimal residual ash at the level of 0.01%.
• Facilitates the production of thin-walled castings.
• Eliminates the need for tooling for model creation.
• Improved dimensional accuracy.
• Reduces defects and production costs.
• Minimizes machining allowances.
• Significantly reduces the time required to release new products.
