The Realize 3D Printed item of the month: Jurassic T-Rex

Every month at Realize we look for a featured item to create using 3D printing and for June we have selected Tyrannosaurus rex. Commonly referred to as T. rex, it’s one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs that ever lived. We selected this in honor of the new Jurassic World film that was just released.

The new dinosaur park movie just crushed all expectations, Universal’s Jurassic World soared to a record $204.6 million debut in North America and $511.8 million globally. Globally, the movie posted the largest weekend bow in history, eclipsing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 ($483.2 million) and becoming the first film to ever cross $500 million in one weekend.*

Realize, Inc. 3D Printed item of the month for June: T. rex

Here is our 3D Printed T. rex! We used Accura 25 resin and it was created in our iPro machine. Don’t forget, there was a scene is Jurassic Park 3 that referenced a “Rapid Prototyper!” It was a pretty big deal when 3D printing/rapid prototyping was mentioned in Jurassic Park III back in 2001. In the film, a group of paleontologists re-create a velociraptor’s resonating chamber using a 3D printer.

University of Florida: FSAE Team

Realize helped out the University of Florida FSAE team with an intake for their car. It’s always exciting to see how the parts that we create perform out in the world. The intake and car recently ran in all the events in the FSAE 2015 Michigan Competition.

We talked with Andrew Cheung from the team about the competitions and the teams future goals.

“We placed 3rd overall, 1st in Acceleration, 2nd in Endurance, 5th in Business, 2nd in the Design Event, and 1st in FEV Powertrain Development. Moving forward, the overall goals for the team is to transfer knowledge, keep a top 5 finish, and have an even larger focus on powertrain development. We’ve recently bought a dynamometer to provide more validation in our designs. For the intake specifically, we are going to take what we learned from this intake and create a more refined version of it and would love to use your services again. “

-Andrew Cheung, CFD Lead , Formula Team

Congrats and Realize wishes you well on achieving your team goals!

QuickCast at Realize

QuickCast at Realize, Inc.

Using Stereolithography 3D Printing technology, more commonly referred to as SLA, Realize has the ability and expertise to create investment casting patterns for foundries.

Utilizing a highly specialized build-style known as QuickCast, foundries have access to an alternative solution to traditional wax patterns, which can be expensive and time consuming to produce. A Quickcast pattern is an SLA model, but differs in that it has a thin skin that surrounds a matrixed internal structure. Not only does this give the pattern rigidity, but it also allows the structure to collapse upon itself during the burnout process, minimizing the risk of a cracked shell.

QuickCast can provide a smooth and accurate pattern that can be ready for you in days. Time and cost savings can be significant as compared to traditional wax patterns, especially for complex geometries. QuickCast may be the alternative solution for you, and Realize stands ready and eager to help you with your next investment casting project.

Please visit us at www.realizeinc.com or contact a member of our expert team at 317-915-0295 to discuss your investment casting needs!
