Shops involved in short-run manufacturing will like a large build area to print multiple objects at once. Designers and other professionals demand outstanding print quality. Hobbyists and artists may want special features such as the ability to print objects with more than one color or multiple filament types. Consumers and schools will want a device that's easy to set up and use, doesn't need much maintenance, and offers reasonably good print quality. The best 3D printer for you depends on how you plan to use it. Įxcept for statements of historical fact, all statements in this press release, including, but not limited to, statements regarding future plans, objectives and payments are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties.Actually, not only should you ask what you want to print, but a more fundamental question: Why do you want to print in 3D? Are you a consumer interested in making toys or household items? A trendsetter who enjoys showing the latest gadgetry to your friends? An educator seeking to install a 3D printer in a classroom, library, or community center? A hobbyist or do-it-yourselfer who likes to experiment with new projects and technologies? A designer, engineer, or architect who needs to create prototypes or models of new products, parts, or structures? An artist who sees fabricating 3D objects as a kind of sculpture? Or a manufacturer looking to print plastic items in relatively short runs? For more information on Tethon 3D, visit. Tethon 3D holds several patents and other intellectual property related to ceramic 3D printing materials, 3D printing processes and 3D printer hardware. Tethon 3D manufactures resins and powders for SLA, DLP and powder/jet binder 3D printing.Īdditionally, the company provides service in 3D modeling, scanning and ceramic 3D printing, as well as 3D printing educational workshops and a residency program. The company manufactures all its products in the United States and distributes to over 40 countries globally. Tethon 3D is the world leader in ceramic materials for additive manufacturing. Industries with applications for Castalite include traditional and advanced manufacturing, engineering, jewelry and others. The Castalite process increases the speed of production and decreases the quantity of material used, resulting in a cost reduction. An advantage of using Castalite to directly print a mold is the elimination of a wax model or other pre-mold steps, as in traditional casting techniques. This produces a ceramic shell model ready to accept liquid metals. Molds with a sprue and gate are 3D printed directly in Castalite, followed by high temperature furnace firing. Most printers can print at 25 micron print layers and Castalite demonstrates excellent resolution at that level.” “Recent improvements in 3D printer technology provide higher resolution details in the casted metal part and faster print times. "Castalite adds another premium material to our product catalogue that compliments the growth seen in SLA and DLP hardware,” says Karen Linder, President and CEO of Tethon 3D. Following kiln firing, objects printed with Castalite are suitable for use as a ceramic shell mold in metal casting processes.Ĭastalite has very high heat and thermal shock tolerances that make it ideal for use in casting many metals such as bronze, gold, silver, and aluminum. The material, Castalite®, is a photo-curing ceramic polymer resin for use in SLA or DLP printers. Omaha, NE (PRWEB) - Tethon Corporation (“Tethon3D”) announces a new resin material for 3D printing. Castalite directly produces a 3D printed mold for metal investment casting.
