Product Overview


3D Printed Investment Cast Brass Industrial Accessories represent a innovative fusion of advanced 3D printing technology and traditional investment casting processes, specifically engineered for industrial applications. These accessories are manufactured using high-quality brass alloys, leveraging the precision of 3D printing to create detailed molds, which are then used in the investment casting process to produce robust, functional components.


This hybrid manufacturing approach bridges the gap between complex design capabilities and the mechanical integrity required for industrial use. The brass material, known for its excellent thermal conductivity, machinability, and resistance to wear, ensures that these accessories can perform reliably in diverse operating environments. Whether for small-batch production or custom-designed parts, this method offers a balance of efficiency and performance that meets the demands of modern industrial sectors.


Product Features


High Precision Manufacturing

The combination of 3D printing and investment casting enables exceptional dimensional accuracy. The 3D printed patterns allow for tight control over tolerances, with typical dimensional deviations held within ±0.05mm for most components. This level of precision ensures consistent fit and functionality when integrated into larger industrial systems.


Complex Geometry Capability

3D printing technology eliminates many of the design constraints associated with traditional casting methods. These accessories can feature intricate internal and external geometries, such as undercuts, thin walls (as thin as 0.8mm in certain configurations), and complex lattice structures, which would be difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional manufacturing processes.


Superior Material Properties

Crafted from brass alloys (with a copper content ranging from 60% to 70%), the accessories exhibit excellent mechanical properties. They have a tensile strength of 300-400 MPa and a hardness of 80-120 HB, making them suitable for applications involving moderate loads and friction. Additionally, the brass material provides good corrosion resistance, particularly in non-aggressive environments.


Cost-Effective for Customization

For low to medium production volumes, this manufacturing method offers cost advantages compared to traditional machining or casting for custom parts. The elimination of expensive tooling and the ability to quickly modify 3D designs reduces lead times and setup costs, making it feasible to produce tailored accessories for specific industrial needs.


Applications


Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing

These brass accessories are widely used in the production of industrial machinery, serving as components such as gears, bushings, valves, and connectors. Their precision and durability ensure smooth operation and long service life in mechanical systems.


Automotive Industry

In the automotive sector, they find application in fuel systems, cooling systems, and transmission components. The corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity of brass make these accessories suitable for use in harsh under-hood environments.


Aerospace and Defense

For aerospace and defense applications, where reliability and precision are critical, these components are used in hydraulic systems, instrumentation, and structural assemblies. The ability to produce complex shapes allows for weight reduction without compromising performance.


Electrical and Electronics

Brass's excellent electrical conductivity makes these accessories ideal for use in electrical connectors, terminals, and heat sinks within electrical and electronic equipment. Their machinability also allows for easy integration with other electrical components.


FAQ


What is the typical production lead time for these accessories?

The production lead time varies depending on the complexity of the part and the order quantity. For standard designs, lead times range from 7 to 14 days for small batches (1-50 units). Custom designs may require additional time for 3D model finalization and pattern testing, typically adding 3 to 5 days to the lead time.


Can these accessories be produced in different brass alloys?

Yes, while the standard alloy used is a 60/40 brass (60% copper, 40% zinc), other brass alloys such as 70/30 brass or leaded brass can be used based on specific application requirements. The choice of alloy may affect mechanical properties and cost, and should be discussed during the design phase.


What surface finishes are available for these components?

Common surface finishes include natural brass (with a protective clear coat), nickel plating, and chrome plating. These finishes enhance corrosion resistance and aesthetic appearance. The selection of a surface finish can be specified during the ordering process, with additional lead time of 2 to 3 days for plating services.


Are there any size limitations for 3D printed investment cast brass accessories?

Currently, the maximum size for a single component is approximately 300mm in length, 200mm in width, and 200mm in height. Larger components may be possible through assembly of multiple parts, which can be discussed with the manufacturing team during the design consultation.
