Rapid Metal Casting

The process involves printing molds and cores on a 3D printer directly from digital data, eliminating the pattern and core box production step in the traditional sand casting process. Metal is then poured into the 3D printed molds enabling you to prototype parts in metal that are too costly or time consuming to produce using traditional methods.

*The technology allows you to prototype parts in metal that were previously cost and time prohibitive and the *process offers a multitude of benefits including:
*Extremely fast turnaround from CAD file to prototype metal part
*Ability to print complex molds and cores
*In-house mold making capabilities for product manufacturers
*Simple metal pouring process for foundries
*Reliability and consistency maintained in every product.
Tooling costs are lower than other metal forming techniques. Most tooling is of aluminum alloy and prototypes can be made by using epoxy or aluminum filled epoxy materials. Since metal castings are essentially cast to size there is usually little machining necessary with consequent saving in time and material costs.

No other casting process produces a finer surface finish than the investment casting process.
