Various processes are used to make metal parts, tools and prototypes:
Rapid CNC
Depending on geometry and material requirements, Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) milling can be a more cost effective way to produce a prototype.
We can machine Stainless steel, Tool steel, Aluminum, Titanium (Plastic / Foam to customer specifications) on our 3 Axis CNC machine.
Table size 1000 * 500mm
Pattern Making
Plaster/Epoxy Patterns can be printed quickly and cheaply making it possible for our customers to obtain fast-turnaround metal prototypes. Cope and drag patterns can be infiltrated, backfilled, and mounted.
Sacrificial Moulding and Investment Casting
RP printer can produce silica cavities and inserts for direct pouring Òone offsÓ for fast cast materials. Direct Metal Casting allows printed parts to be used directly, as a mould, for pouring non-ferrous metal (low temperature). The process eliminates the pattern creation phase of the traditional sand casting process. As a result, the process time is drastically reduced.
