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.

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.
