3D printing with plastics and resins is great for quickly prototyping parts with all manner of geometries, but strength and durability of the parts produced is often limited. One way around this is to ...

In any casting process it becomes tough to judge the exact cause of defects because they are quite perceptive in nature. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to identify the process parameters ...

Gravity casting aluminum in permanent molds beats conventional sand and pressure die casting. Today, gravity-fed permanent metal molds can produce near-net-shape parts from a variety of aluminum ...

The second process is used in the foundries for producing cast products. This is the oldest and simplest (in theory but not in practice) means of manufacturing shaped components. Other techniques, ...
