Place thicker parts at the bottom and thinner parts at the top of the tree. Space 3D printed pieces further apart on the tree than typical for a tree of wax pieces. More investment in the gaps between parts helps resist any thermal expansion. Tips for creating a casting tree Use wax sprues for main sprues and large feeds. If using wax sprues, create the thickest sprues possible, and place the sprues on the thickest part of the model as long as the sprues do not interfere with the design. For printed sprues, match the sprue diameter to the cross-section of the adjacent part for even expansion during the cast.
Whether using wax sprues or sprues printed directly on the part, place sprues for the shortest exit path of material. Make the path of airflow inside the cast as short as possible. Smaller trees with less resin burn out more easily.
Casting barrier films may interfere with the ability of the resin to lose liquid wax during heating. Add ventilation holes within the design to ensure sufficient airflow during burnout. Close these holes with wax before adding sprues to avoid the investment getting inside the model. Castable Wax 40 Resin will give you more freedom in investment materials.
If you are casting especially difficult designs, consider upgrading to a stronger phosphate bonded investment material, such as Nobilium Microfire. Tip: Large or thick parts benefit from a stronger investment. When casting bulkier parts, adjust the ratio of water in the investment mixture. The workflow for mixing the investment and preparing the mold depends on the investment and flask size.
Follow the investment manufacturer's instructions and adjust the burnout schedule as needed. Warning: Follow safety recommendations from the investment manufacturer. Step 1: Attach a casting flask Attach a casting flask to the sprue base. If the flask is perforated, wrap the flask with clear packing tape to contain the investment. Mix with a slow speed until the powder is completely wet. Casting result according to shape. References J.
