Generation of Shell models for investment casting

DDM Systems pioneers complex metal investment castings with the unique DirectPour™ process and patented LAMP™ 3D printing technology. By directly pouring metal into ceramic shells, DDM slashs costs and time compared to traditional methods, all without upfront tooling investment. Yet, creating these intricate ceramic shells remains a labor- intensive task. Synera streamlines ceramic shell generation with advanced features like mesh manipulation, field-based design, and lattice structures. Using LAMP technology and a Synera-based workflow, DDM simplifies ceramic shell creation, eliminating multiple steps and reducing lead time.
