Abstract

The article discusses the features of using FDM printing for the manufacture of ABS plastic casting molds intended for multiple wax casting. The behavior of two types of molds was experimentally investigated: a basic mold with a wall thickness of about 0.8 mm and a filling of 15%, and a modified mold with thickened walls (up to 3–4 mm) and increased filling (up to 40%). It was found that the basic mold deformed after the third pouring cycle, losing its geometry, while the reinforced design withstood more than six cycles without visible damage. The wax castings obtained had a stable shape and were suitable for further use in the formation of ceramic shells for investment casting. The paper presents photographs illustrating the mold design, the pouring process, and the results obtained (Figs. 1–3).
