In-house Prototyping

Casting Solutions has added in-house prototyping via FDM (Fused Disposition Modeling). The material we use is ABS and the capability was added for a number of reasons:

• To present hard samples representative of your part for production
• To build low-volume investment cast tools
• To speed fixturing and tooling development (typically cuts 3-5 weeks off production process)

Scaled Representative Casting
This part was scaled down from a 200+ lb. casting for a customer presentation

Tool Lead Time Reduction Samples
Used to build machining fixtures and saved the customer four weeks in production tooling

Low-Volume Investment Cast Tool
This tool has run over 100 shots with no issues. Cost of tooling: approx. $1000
