Abstract
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 research proved that both the investigated RC solutions are effective at obtaining cast technological prototypes in short times and at low cost, with dimensional tolerances that are completely consistent with metal casting processes.Keywords
