Whether it's a printed sand mold, die casting, aluminum heat treatment, machining, rapid investment casting, precision sand (or no-bake sand) casting, or any other process, each process has its own set of advantages and disadvantages to consider.
In fact, you'll discover that silicone mold can be used to create hundreds of parts without showing any signs of wear. Another advantage of our rapid investment casting services is that we can ship you a predetermined number of castings in as little as two days or less.
Machining is the process of creating something from nothing.
It is possible for us to machine parts from post-machining casting to tight tolerances to stock "hangouts."Just give us a call if you have any questions.
Precision Sand Casting is a type of zinc die casting that is precise in its shape.
Precision sand, also known as "no-bake" sand, is a fine-grain sand that is blended with a two-part urethane binder in order to create sand castings that do not require baking. As a result, larger castings with thick walls and a surface finish of approximately 200 microinches are produced as a result. Aside from this, precision sand zinc die casting has several advantages over green sand casting, including the fact that it has fewer size restrictions, achieves superior mechanical properties, and has better surface finish and dimensional tolerances than green sand casting.
Process of Making a Printed Sand Mold
We have recently introduced a printed sand mold process that makes use of 3D Printer technology to print the mold onto a print bed. This is one of our more recent offerings. This effectively eliminates the need for hard tooling in the manufacturing process. With our 3D printed sand mold process, we can produce more complicated cores and undercuts with minimal effort.
Mold Casting in a Permanent Mold
As part of our permanent mold casting process, we cut hard tools out of steel or graphite to size. The advantages of this process include the use of long-lasting tooling that can produce thousands of parts, as well as the consistency of the geometry. It is sufficient to say that permanent mold casting is a method of zinc die-casting that is frequently used as a bridge between die zinc die-casting products and sand casting.
Die Casting is a type of alloy die casting company that uses dies to create a solid piece of metal.
When it comes to die-casting, the process is as simple as it sounds: zinc die-casting products involve cutting a hard tool out of steel. This is an excellent choice for a wide range of production-part projects. When it comes to RPM parts, the transition from prototyping and small volumes to production and larger volumes is seen as a logical progression.
Aluminum Heat Treatment is a term that refers to the process of heating aluminum.
After receiving the parts, we can typically treat most aluminum castings to T6 condition in three days or less after they are received. This treatment is capable of handling parts measuring up to 48" x 48" x 60". That is the most extensive aluminum heat treatment option available in the entire state of Colorado!
