Hardness Matters! Our tests show that?DMC A356-F “Characterization” castings?have?higher hardness?than commercial A356 ingot in the F-temper. Why??Faster solidification rates?in DMC castings lead to?smaller Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing (SDAS), boosting both?hardness and strength?through refined microstructure and solid solution strengthening.??? ?

?? Webinar: Unlocking the Future of Digital Metal Casting with Dr. Hein Moller & David Moodie A few weeks back, we introduced you to Dr. Hein Moller, our metallurgical engineer and the mastermind behind our Materials Lab. Not only is he leading groundbreaking testing, he’s also the proud guardian of our Scanning Electron Microscope. Dr. Hein’s latest results are pretty exciting: ?? DMC-3 tensile bars have tensile properties in the as-cast and T6 temper conditions that are superior to typical sand casting properties and comparable to permanent mold casting properties.?Check out the graph below! ?? Join us Feb 27th at 11 AM (PST) for an exclusive webinar featuring Dr. Hein Moller, our metallurgical expert, and David Moodie, our Founder & CEO. Together, they’ll dive into the groundbreaking research that has helped inform our Digital Metal Casting technology! ?? Save your spot now: Register here ?? https://lnkd.in/gVcGDjTg With Hein leading the charge, we’re not just testing materials—we’re redefining what’s possible in metal casting. See you there! ??

People ask if there is a need for Foundry Lab's tech: We made some parts for 67 Designs this week and I think their post here sums it up nicely!
