Hi Jan, Do you every use lost wax casting to make prototype metal parts? Do you use A CNC mill for prototype parts and if so is it hard to program?

Jan I’m starting to salivate you have access to some great toys. Fifteen years ago I designed a casting machine to compete very economically with the high priced German and Italian casting machines for the jewelry industry. I started to build it but never finished. I thought at the time it would be great for prototyping as well as jewelry manufacturing. The machine would have taken a lot of the guess work out of the temperamental casting process. But I guess a lot of that type of metal work can be done on small CNC mills.

t depends on the situation. A good example is rapid prototyping. While we do have a Dimension 3d printer in house that runs nearly 100 hours a week, we do not have an any other machines such as SLA, SLS, polyjet, DLS…these machines often need more space, some need ventilation and can use many different types of materials for different purposes. We have found that this is such a competitive market that we are able to get reasonable pricing and turn around without the need to maintain and house such equipment.

Hi there engineering team can you tell me what kinds of products or items in general you are capable of making? kind of curious as far as what measure it will take to decide on a particular product to be determined as far as making it a go or not. Thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing keep up the good work.
