Abstract

This paper deals with a comparison of different materials to produce models for investment casting technology using additive manufacturing methods. The work is focused on three materials for FDM type printers, as well as two resins for SLA printing devices. To create a comprehensive image of each filament the materials are presented in terms of technology, the need for additional post processing, as well as physical and mechanical properties for each product.

Keywords

Additive technologies; Wax like filaments; Investment casting; FDM; SLA
