Precision Investment Casting Process

The process is being used for manufacturing precision and high quality aluminum and copper components accroding to a unique investment casting technology.

The process can be described as:

• Wax models, which are produced according to the 3D model received from the customer, are being placed on a "tree".
• The "tree" is placed in a box which is vaccum filled with plaster.
• then the boxe is placed in an oven and the wax models are burned away.
• melted material is pured into the box.
• the plaster is being washed away with high pressure water and the parts are ready for seconday operations, if needed.

Why use the MM casting process:

• Reduce overall costs by Designing for Manufacture: - simplify an assembly by combining a number of parts: eliminate joining processes: reduce the part count whilst improving the integrity of the finished product.
• Reduce time to market through use of Rapid Prototyping technology and obtain casting, machining, assembly and packaging from one source. Finished metal parts are deliverable from concept in under four weeks.
• Design flexibility, with quick modifications to tooling that costs 90% less than for a pressure die casting, whilst maintaining economic batch quantities of up to 500,000 parts per annum. High quality finish, detail and specification.
