The PolyCore PVB-1500 pellets by Polymaker are a material designed specially for investment casting appplications. PVB exhibits excellent flow characteristics, allowing it to fill intricate molds and capture fine details with precision. Its low melting point and minimal ash content make it easy to burn out during the casting process, leaving minimal residue and reducing the risk of defects in the final cast part.
Additionally, PVB's clean and consistent burnout results in smooth surfaces and accurate dimensions in the castings. These qualities, along with its low toxicity and minimal environmental impact, make PVB a valuable material for investment casting across various industries, including aerospace and automotive, where precision and quality are paramount.
The PolyCore PVB-1500 pellets were developed specially for MAAM (Middle Area Additive Manufacturing) and can be extruded with the help of equipment such as the CEAD AM Flexbot, the CEAD E25 extruder, the Mahor V4 pellet extruder, or the Dyze Pulsar extruder.

Proper storage of 3D printing materials is key to smooth extrusion and achieving excellent surface quality and mechanical properties for the 3D printed part. PolyCore PVB-1500 pellets should be stored in a sealed package in dry conditions at a temperature below 50°C, protected from UV light at all times.
