Using of additive technologies in fabrication of casting models

Abstract

The paper presents a comparative study of the technological process of obtaining casting moulds by means of additive technologies (fused deposition modelling and vat photopolymerisation) from a wide range of materials (thermoplastics and industrial photocurable resin). The obtained results of the researches in the study highlight the advantages and disadvantages of these methods for the realization of metallic and polymeric parts with unique character or very small series.
