PolyCast
This Specialty family provides unique filaments from Polymaker to unlock new 3D printing applications.
PolyCast is a filament designed to produce investment patterns for investment casting applications. 3D printing significantly cuts down both the cost and lead time by eliminating the tooling process.
PolyCast features two unique technologies:
Layer-Free: PolyCast can be easily smoothed with IPA for a smoother surface finish which is reflected on the casted model.
Ash-Free: PolyCast burns out very cleanly with minimum ash residues.
