Summary:The number of SFF technologies capable of making functional metallic proptypes is significantly greater than those for ceramic or composite prototypes. Available technologies for functional metallic prototypes allow for making pattern-less castings as well as tooling for injection molding. DTM Corporation and Soligen Technologies, Inc., have developed pattern-less casting technologies called sandform and direct-shell production casting (DSPC), respectively.
