Cast Urethane Parts – Standard Quality vs. Show Quality
Dave Evans - Model Shop Operations Manager, Laser Reproductions Cast urethane parts are produced using silicone rubber tools or molds. A master pattern, usually made on an SLA machine, is hand finished to approximate the surface required for the cast parts. This master is then used to create the silicone tool. In preparing the tool [...]
Rapid Freeze Prototyping (RFP)
A new type of rapid prototyping was investigated at Missouri University of Science and Technology about 10 years ago. It is called Rapid Freeze Prototyping (RFP). This is a solid freeform fabrication process that freezes droplets of water layer-by-layer to create a part. Much like the process of stereolithography (SLA), RFP is an additive manufacturing [...]
