Advantages of pcPro®
 

 

Precision Cast Prototyping machine

 

    

 

The pcPro® method entails several advantages compared to common process chains such as Rapid Prototyping / vacuum casting.

 

Quality

  • completely dense parts can be manufactured
  • no gate system, no mold turbulence and no air bubbles
  • complicated features are easy to manufacture using the integrated CNC-machining

 

Precision

  • tight tolerances and screw threads producible
  • simple casting procedure with free shrinkage
  • no reclamping of parts

 

Time and Cost Savings

  • high automation level
  • high flexibility regarding the production of part shapes
  • no physical master model
  • only one half of the tool necessary
  • no construction of mold release slopes and fillets for inner contours
  • low finishing effort
  • integration in existing machining centers possible
