CastForm
TM
PS plastic
for use with all selective laser sintering (SLS
)
systems
FEATURES
Functions like foundry wax and is foundry
friendly
Low residual ash content (less than 0.02%)
Short burnout cycle
Easy-to-process plastic
Good plastic powder recycle characteristics
BENEFITS
Create complex patterns without welds or joints
Reduce lead times resulting in faster time-to-
market
Compatible with autoclaves, low-temperature
furnaces, and vacuum plaster casting methods
Easy to assemble and repair patterns
Rapidly test new designs in iterative process
APPLICATIONS
Create patterns directly rather than through
indirect methods
Complex investment casting patterns
- Reactive metals like titanium
- Low melt-temperature metals such as
aluminum, magnesium and zinc
- Ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Economic, low-volume production castings
without tooling
Smaller parts can be joined to create very large
patterns
Sacrificial, expendable patterns

PS patterns are comparable to conventional wax patterns in the
following areas:
Assembly methods and tools
Stability and transportability
Handling during assembly and repair
Suitable for all cast metal alloys
Low residual ash
No ceramic shell cracking
Usable for ceramic and plaster molds
*Data was generated from the testing of parts produced by an SLS system from CastForm PS material under typical
processing conditions. Secondary wax infiltration performed with Red Dip Wax #2-D504.
Build Castform PS
(polystyrene-based)
material into a foundry
pattern in an SLS machine.
Infiltrate the pattern with
foundry wax, which
increases part strength
and surface quality.
Polish the pattern to the
desired surface finish.
Process the infiltrated
pattern using standard
foundry practices.

Two-Part Polyurethane Inltration
Inltration with a two-part polyurethane increases Shore A hardness,
creates a watertight barrier, and signicantly enhances the burst strength.
FlexSeal colors can be mixed to create custom colors.

Data was generated by building parts using 100% virgin powder under typical default parameters. DuraForm HST Composite was processed on a Sinterstation HiQ + HS SLS System at 25 watts
laser power, 10 m/sec [400 inches/sec] scan speed, and a powder layer thickness of 0.1 mm [0.004 inches].
