253: Direct Casting with Additive Manufactured Patterns

Team Members: James Driesenga, Riley Simpson, Camden Miner, Zach Schwab, TC Swittel, and Sean Frank, Mechanical Engineering Advisor : Bob Page, Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics Sponsor : Mercury Marine Project Overview: We have been asked by Mercury Marine to develop a lost-foam style casting process that uses a 3D printed pattern instead of expanded polystyrene. Expanded polystyrene allows for complete part filling, but the cost and time required to create a new pattern out of polystyrene are much too high due to the pattern tooling. 3D printing patterns would eradicate the need for pattern tooling and significantly reduce the time required to produce a pattern .
