storage temperature and time of the pattern on the shrinkage behavior of EPMMA pattern were investigated systematically.It was found that the shrinkage rate of EPMMA pattern is about 0.1% when the pattern is released from the mold
then the shrinkage rate increased gradually with the increase of storage time
and the shrinkage rate stably keeps 0.5%~ 0.6% with about thirty days at ambient temperature or fifteen days at 50 ℃.It was also found that the molding steam forming has the most remarkable effects on the shrinkage rate of the rate
