Rapid Investment Casting

We have a ProJet CP3000 wax pattern production system with a print envelope of approximately 11 x 7 x 7 inches. After a pattern is printed, it is connected to a tree and covered with slurry. The slurry covered mold and tree are placed into a furnace to "burn out" the wax pattern and molten metal is poured into the void created. This investment casting process allows us to ship you a limited number of castings in as little as 2 days, depending on geometry and complexity.

Casting tolerances vary depending on part geometry and metal being used, the minimum casting wall thickness for stainless steel is .125, aluminum is approximately .040 and the minimum wall thickness for magnesium is .080 inches.

Advantages:Speed; Complex Geometry (internal features, undercuts, and thin walls are all possible)
