Processes

  • Zirconium castings are made from electronic patterns using and graphite moulds and lost foam technology.

The technology using electronic patterns secure castings with

  • Reduced time to manufacture
  • Reduced total manufacturing costs
  • Improved cast tolerances with lower unit weight
  • Castings of high integrity and dimensional accuracy
  • Appropriate surface finish and enhanced letter definition
  • Opportunities for one-off and small series production
  • Drawings can be revised without any cost implications
  • No pattern storage or maintenance costs
