What technologies do investment casting manufacturers need to have?

Investment casting manufacturers need to have a variety of high-precision equipment, excellent technical personnel, and perfect technological processes to meet high-quality production requirements. Among these conditions, technology is the most important one. Let's take a look at what technologies precision casting manufacturers need to have.

CAD/CAM technology: Computer-aided design and manufacturing technology can make production more automated and refined. CAD can quickly and accurately draw the three-dimensional model of the product, and perform product structure analysis, stress analysis, material selection, etc., making the factory manufacturing process more precise. CAM can export casting drawings from the computer, and realize intelligent control and optimization of the casting process through digital control of casting equipment.

Digital control technology: Digital control technology can realize the intelligent control of casting equipment and realize the optimization of casting process. Such as CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, CNC boring machines, CNC combined machine tools and other equipment.

Precision mold technology: the production of precision castings requires the use of high-precision, high-stability molds, and the production process of the molds requires the use of CAD/CAM technology-assisted design and CNC numerical control machine tool processing. The precision of the mold is very high, especially for thin-walled parts in precision casting. A series of measures need to be taken during the design, manufacture and use of the mold, such as cavity filling, mold temperature control, mold opening and closing speed and refueling time. control etc.

Large-scale casting equipment technology: In precision casting, it is usually necessary to use large-scale casting equipment, such as forging presses, high-pressure injection molding machines, high-pressure die-casting machines, etc. Good casting temperature and time.

Melting technology: The basis of casting production is smelting technology, which needs to achieve fine control of parameters such as melting range, melting speed, and melting temperature. At the same time, fine control of alloy composition is required to ensure product wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Product inspection technology: It is crucial to inspect and verify the geometric dimensions and material properties of cast products. Testing and verification technologies include shape testing, material testing, chemical composition testing, physical performance testing, mechanical performance testing, etc.

In short, precision casting manufacturers need to have good CAD/CAM technology, digital control technology, precision mold technology, large-scale casting equipment technology, melting technology and product testing technology to be able to produce casting products with high precision, stable quality and excellent performance . This requires strict supervision by the leadership, effective training and research and development of various talents, and scientific and reasonable management and a sound quality assurance system to improve product quality.
