The Process
SLA technology directs a focused UV (ultra-violet) laser beam on to a basin of liquid resin solidifying and curing thin two-dimensional cross-sections layer-upon-layer producing a solid part. The part is created in layers from the bottom up, each layer only thousandths of an inch thick. The result is a precise physical replication of the CAD model.

Characteristics
High Detail – Accuracy – Smooth Finish

The Process
A silicone RTV mold is made from an SLA master pattern. After curing, the mold is cut, separated, and the SLA pattern is removed. The RTV mold is reassembled and urethane resin is poured into the mold. After curing in a vacuum chamber, the mold is disassembled and the completed part is removed.

Characteristics
Durable - Cost Effective - Good detail

Material Selection
Urethane castings are made from a wide variety of simulated engineered plastics including ABS-like, PE-like, elastomers, PP-like, glass-filled, high strength, transparent, and high temp.

Applications

• Low volume production runs
• Marketing samples
• Test prototypes

The Process
High-definition wax patterns are printed from 3D printing machines. The patterns are cleaned and molded in a ceramic shell and cured. After curing, the patterns are melted out of the mold. Molten metal is then poured into the shell and allowed to cool. Once cool, the shell is broken revealing the completed metal part.

Characteristics
High Detail - Accuracy - End Use Material

Material Selection
Stainless Steel (various alloys)
Aluminum (A380, 7075)
Gold (10K, 14K, 18K)
Silver (Sterling, Fine)
Nickel (200, 400, Nickel Silver)
Bronze (Silicone, Phosphor)
Copper, Tin, LeadTitanium
