advantages in other areas, such as reducing the machining needed.
They know their business."

Cast Direct Metal Casting is the process of directly casting metals in molds printed on
Z Corporation's line of 3D Printers. The mold cavity and inserts can be printed
directly on the 3D Printer using ZCast 500, a plaster-ceramic composite appropriate for non-ferrous metal alloys.
The ZCast process significantly reduces the time and cost associated with the production of metal prototypes by
eliminating the pattern creation or tooling step in the traditional casting processes.
