The Design of 3D-Printed Lattice-Reinforced Thickness-Varying Shell Molds for Castings

3D printing technologies have been used gradually for the fabrication of sand molds and cores for castings, even though these molds and cores are dense structures. In this paper, a generation method for lattice-reinforced thickness-varying shell molds is proposed and presented. The first step is the...
