Patterns made from conventional wax materials in the Investment Casting (IC) process can easily be distorted, damaged, or broken in transportation or routine handling or due to exposure to heat. Alternatively, the strength and toughness of most Rapid Prototyping (RP) materials virtually eliminates t...
