Z Corporation’s ZCast Direct Metal Casting

The revolutionary ZCast™ Direct Metal Casting process provides the ability to produce cast metal parts from a CAD file significantly faster and less expensively than traditional prototype casting methods. It has proven to hold accuracies and wall thickness well within industry standards, and to do so with speed and low cost. In many cases, it is possible to go from data to cast aluminum part in 12 hours for just hundreds of dollars in material cost.

The ZCast process involves printing molds and cores on a Z Corp. 3D Printer directly from digital data, eliminating the pattern and core box production step in the traditional sand casting process. Metal is then poured directly into the 3D printed molds. The technology allows engineers to prototype parts in metal that were previously cost and time prohibitive.

The ZCast technology is being used in more than 50 companies worldwide. The parts have ranged in complexity from aluminum enclosures that would typically be die cast, to marine engines with complex cores that would typically be manufactured by a lost foam process. The companies have all achieved less than a seven-day turn-around time when working with a foundry using the ZCast process.
