This is my non professional approach to extend 3D printing for myself to create metal objects using the "lost PLA" method. I try to write up the way which worked for me, including the objects I used for printing. This is not intended for direct...

Perfect for anyone new at lost pla casting aluminum. Watch my video, "Turn Plastic into Aluminum PART 1" to compare results of Test Sprue 0.1, and "Turn Plastic into Aluminum PART 2" to compare results of Test Sprue 0.2. ...Both videos can be found at...

This documentary outlines my method to change a PLA 3D print into an aluminum alloy casting. Watch it here: http://youtu.be/WWVVSZP3Au4. A shorter version is available at: http://youtu.be/0bxOzCgUj_U. The furnace used for this project can be found on...

... The PDF is available for download and all images can be enlarged online. This instructable, featuring a Lost PLA process demonstrated on Hack-a-Day (http://3DTOPO.com/lostPLA), aims to appeal to the 3D printing community.

Check out our video on lost PLA casting with this plate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilTmXVg9oc8&feature=youtu.be. I recently installed my new pewter plate and it's been a game-changer - the results are fantastic! With a good hot foundry setup,...

Check out our video on YouTube where we demonstrate lost PLA casting using this same extruder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilTmXVg9oc8&feature=youtu.be. I've personally used the pewter plate with great results, and I'm confident that it would...

This is a quick feeder and vent setup I made for lost PLA casting.  For me, I print these, attach them to a 3d printed model I want to print.  Then coat it with joint compound, let that dry.  Encase it in sand with sodium silicate.

To most Thingyiverse users, this is likely to mean nothing, but to some who follow my YouTube channel, this is the Casting Tree that I demonstrate in a video shown below. It fits perfectly on a steel flask with an outer diameter of 102mm and is no...

Those familiar with John Campbell's Casting Handbook will be aware of the concept of a tapered sprue and pouring basin, devices typically included in sand casting to reduce porosity, prevent metal contamination, and smooth the flow. I have taken...

The workshop utilizes lost foam casting technique, boasting an annual production capacity of 3,000 metric tons.

Perfection reigns as a top player in lost wax and investment casting sectors. Specializing in steel casting, ductile iron casting, carbon steel casting, and gray iron casting, this distinguished manufacturer and exporter ensures high-quality...

It s my first succesful try (yes... ... previous tries were far worse) https://youtu.be/oRomoA5HL78

The aluminum injection casting mold is a critical component in the production process for creating lightweight, intricate parts used in various industries. This innovative technique involves injecting molten aluminum into a mold cavity, allowing it...

Mold for a polystyrene model of some detail.In the future, the foam polystyrene model is usedto obtain the required metal part by casting(casting on gasified models of foam polystyrene- lost foam casting).

Engineers have uniquely tailored a turbine model sourced directly from an open-source library, making specific modifications aimed at reducing the risk of shrinkage whenever utilized within lost polymer casting applications.

I have been playing with lost wax casting, and I made some working molds in plastic cups, but they needed a sort of funnel to work properly, and that wasn't always easy to add if the sprue of the wax item wasn't long enough. So inspired by the...

I've been gradually building the equipment required for lost wax casting. I'm currently working on a 4in flask and decided to proceed with creating the rubber sprue base, designed specifically for a 4in O.D. flask. However, this design can be scaled...

I'm still unsure how aluminum will hold up to the larger sizes, but if you're already able to cast aluminum then there should be minimal investment required for a die. It might be worth trying if you only need a few bends of a size that you don't...

... for drilling a fuse hole. The object was printed upright with support structures in place, utilizing 0.2 millimeter layers without issue. A moldlay wax filament was used for the print, and subsequent casting will be done using bronze materials.
