Steel investment casting for designers

Sacotec Day – sharpen your skills is a training for designers, product developers and engineers.

As a designer, you probably can design and model anything.  Many times, manufacturing can cause bottlenecks for product development and production. Investment casting gives freedom of design and opportunities to designer’s work. You can manufacture products with fewer work steps, combine different manufacturing methods and materials in a way, that you probably cannot imagine.

Sacotec Day training gives you steel-hard basics about the possibilities of investment casting for designers and engineers.

Typically, product developers and designers face these challenges in manufacturability:

  • Manufacturing of complex components demands multiple manufacturing methods, which takes time and money
  • Manufacturing method can restrict you from selecting the optimal material for your product
  • Manufacturing process generates lot of scrap, which can either raise the price of the product or reduce its margin.
  • The selected manufacturing method does not enable agile product development

Investment casting can give you new kind of freedom

  • It enables you to manufacture more complex components than with other manufacturing methods
  • The same product can be flexibly manufactured from several different materials
  • Combining investment casting with other manufacturing methods can lower your products price
  • Material loss in investment casting material is lower than in other manufacturing methods
  • The use of 3D printing enables quick creation of prototypes and brings agility to product development

Sacotec Day gives designer and product developer basic tools for designing and manufacturing more competitive products.

  • Manufacturing process of investment casting
  • Tolerances
  • Benefits of investment casting
  • Materials, thermal processes and surface finishing processes that can be used
  • Design process and what to consider when asking a quote
  • Design of components for investment casting
