What is the ZCast process?
The ZCast process involves directly casting metals in molds printed on Z Corporation’s line of 3D Printers. We are offering the ability to directly print the mold cavity or mold inserts. Traditionally, these molds need to be created by first producing a pattern (or pattern set) which would then be used to create the molds. In the case of sand casting, a set of patterns is used to create the impressions in the sand. In the case of investment casting, wax patterns are needed to then create a ceramic mold. With the ZCast process, we are offering the option to skip the pattern step.
