Development of an expert system for the simulation model for casting metal substructure of a metal-ceramic crown design

Investment casting (IC) is the most widespread technology for dental cast manufacturing, which implies mold and process automation in initial and detailed design. Investment casting or “lost-wax” casting is a precision casting process where the wax patterns are transformed into metal alloys cast. Traditional IC suffers from high tooling investments for producing wax patterns. IC is used in the automotive and aerospace industries, and dentistry for the manufacturing of complex metal shapes. In this process, the shape to be reproduced is formed in wax and coated in a chemically bonded ceramic investment material.
