Investment Casting Design and Processing for Drone’s Micro-Engine Turbine Rotor Manufacturing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The research presents methods for modern design and processing tools to be used in manufacturing process of castings in the aviation industry. In the study it is described how to use a computer simulation software and rapid prototyping / rapid tooling methods for manufacturing of drone’s micro-engine turbine rotor. The computer simulation of flow and solidification process and the investment casting technology were applied for manufactured elements.
