Specialty Casting
xCAST is tailored specifically for the production of precision investment casting patterns on the NXE400 3D printer.
xCAST is a much more economical and scalable alternative to all other direct and indirect metal 3D printing solutions on the market today and comes with Nexa3D’s validated workflow including:
-
Cleaner burnout for a variety of metals, including titanium and aluminum alloys.
-
Faster pattern printing and draining for a variety of sizes as well as complex and lightweighted patterns
-
20X productivity gain over traditional and additive alternatives leveraging in-foundry or near-foundry toolless production of precision patterns same day, not in weeks or months
Unique Features:
-
Ideal for in foundry series production of small, large and complex metal parts
-
Offers a toolless, faster, and a more accurate alternative to traditional pattern production
Applications:
-
Aerospace
-
Defense
-
Automotive
-
Oil and gas
-
Heavy industry application
