QUICKCAST is a low-cost fast-turn-around wax
pattern alternative to traditional aluminium multi-part
tooling dies. We can bypass the expense and delay of traditional
tooling by making your wax patterns with composite tooling and
sending them to the foundry. |

SOLPONT can quickly and economically produce wax
patterns for investment casting using composite and flexible
molding processes. This offers great advantages over traditional
aluminium tooling dies for wax patterns, as our tooling may cost
as little as a few hundred dollars, and be producing wax patterns
for the foundry within 7 days from ordering. |
This low cost tooling allows for economical
investment casting of single components or small quantities that
would not be economic using traditional tooling. Development or
prototype components can be produced and put into operation, and
continuing development does not incur traditional large retooling
costs. In marine stainless applications, investment casting of a
part may be more cost effective than fabrication. |
SOLPONT can supply wax patterns for a customer to
work with their existing foundry service, or can carry out the
complete tooling and foundry process and deliver finished
components to the customer. |
Quality control documentation, materials standards
compliance, and materials laboratory analysis certification is
provided as required. |
