5th April 2019

Trent Refractories are pleased to now offer 3D printed models for Precast products allowing for complete visualisation before any production process begins. Trent has a long and notable history in supplying precast refractory shapes specifically with EAF Roof Delta’s so much so that we supply the entire UK market. Electric Arc Furnace Roofs & Deltas, Tundish Linings, Tundish Lids, Economiser Rings, Ladle Linings For Foundries, EAF Launders, Dams & Weirs, Striker Pads, Wellblocks & Pre Heater Lids.

3D printed models created with CAD result in reduced errors and can be corrected before printing, allowing verification in the design of the object before it is printed. The manual modelling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. Today, the precision, repeatability and material range have increased to the point that 3D printing is considered as an industrial production technology, with the name of additive manufacturing. 3D printed objects can have a very complex shape or geometry and are always produced starting from a digital 3D model or a CAD file.
