Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The focus on the development of rapid prototyping(RP) has changed into rapid manufacturing(RM). Quick casting generated by combining RP technology with casting technology is one of major research fields of RM. Several methods to produce direct casting mold manufacturing based on RP are introduced and compared in forming precision, efficiency, application range and main features. The paper points out that the methods are the important ways in achieving the casting process automation, flexibility and agility. The PCM(Patternless Casting Modeling) technique has its own advantages and broad future.
