It considers typical design process of casting tooling for the production of various different kinds of serial and casting materials. It shows the effectiveness of the joint application of virtual simulation systems and additive technologies. The possibility of using additive technologies to develop new low-cost methods of preparation of low-melting foundry tooling and composite materials.
