netfabb Studio Tutorial - How to design a light and strong pattern for investment casting

Creating a light and strong pattern for investment casting is of huge importance to produce investment cast parts of high quality. This video demonstrate how netfabb Selective Space Structures (3S) can be used to design a thin walled shell and strengthen the interior with a lightweight structure. The result is a minimum weight pattern with maximum stiffness and accuracy.

The netfabb Selective Space Structures (3S) softwareis specially developed for building complex structures in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing and the easiest and fastest way to turn solid models into complex structural solutions in a range of fields such as orthopedic implants, aerospace, racing, art, design, tooling, cooling or fashion.
