The team is exploring additively manufacturing the wax and ceramic stages of the casting process using a Formlabs Form 2 SLA printer and other relevant printers. Multiple printable materials were evaluated for an example part through a partnership with a local foundry. The cost analysis of AM for the casting process is performed to analyze cost efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meggitt Engineering, 2021\u201322 Liaison(s): Mark Abrams, Adrian Cheng, Scott Lathrope, Michael Parsons, Brian Wix Advisor(s): Leah Mendelson Students(s): Sophia Lauf, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[644],"class_list":["post-13270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineering","tag-meggitt"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13270"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13339,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13270\/revisions\/13339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
