Application of rapid prototyping technology in the investment casting technology

To accelerate the production of prototype castings, it is necessary to shorten the time required for the production of investment casting, allowing just the Rapid Prototyping technology. This technology is being developed for several decades, but the application of the method of lost wax model is completely normal. Task of the thesis is to develop a literature search possibilities of mapping technology in Rapid Prototyping technology foundry investment casting wax model
