Dimensional Tolerance of Casting in the Bridgman Furnace Based on 3D Printing Techniques

Dimensional Tolerance of Casting in the Bridgman Furnace Based on 3D Printing Techniques

In this article, the feasibility and the dimensional accuracy based on the 3D printing technology during investment casting of non-vacuum and Bridgman furnace are investigated based on the coordinate measuring machine to calculate the dimensional tolerances through a systematic approach. The researc...
