3D Printing, or Direct Digital Manufacturing, is changing the way foundries do business. By bringing Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) production systems in-house, or getting patterns printed at a 3D Printing service bureau like RedEye Australasia, foundries are saving time and money on traditional tooling methods. Additive Manufacturing (AM) with FDM can produce a thermoplastic pattern quickly and for a fraction of the cost of traditional patterns. This can provide dramatic time and cost savings on traditional lost wax and CNC casting patterns of 60-80%.
