Honeywell Ceramic 3D-Printed Turbine Blade Molds
Ceramic investment-casting molds for turbine blades
Turbine blade investment casting requires complex ceramic molds with fine internal features. Traditional ceramic mold fabrication uses lost-wax processes that are slow and costly to modify.
Honeywell is among the first jet engine manufacturers to use 3D-printed ceramic molds for turbine blade production — printing ceramic slurry directly into mold geometry via Prodways high-resolution vat photopolymerization. Reduces mold development time and enables design iterations impossible with traditional ceramic shell.
