Breaking News! January 2009: PMI accepts delivery of the latest technology to build wax patterns for direct investment casting from 3D CAD files. This state of the art equipment is capable of building individual prototypes or very short run parts directly from solid model files, without the need for expensive tooling, providing unprecedented resolution, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy, not previously available. Attempts at using patterns made from UV or laser cured resins had only minimal success in direct investment casting. Older true wax prototype machines such as Thermojet and others have support witness issues fully eliminated by this latest build technology which uses support material that dissolves away from the pattern before casting leaving all surfaces with an excellent surface finish. Call PMI today for more information on how this latest technology can help reduce your development costs or time to market. (Call 216-481-8900 ask for prototype information.)
YES we
do! PMI pours these alloys
in addition to all air meltable alloys...
PRECISION METALSMITHS, INC.,
a leading manufacturer of investment cast metal parts, (investment castings), has served
the OEM market for over 60 years. With our patented lost wax
process, we offer near net shape, close tolerances, and excellent
surface finish which means reduced costs for materials, machining,
subassembly, fabrication, and other secondary operations.
Specializing in small parts ranging from fractions of an ounce to
10 pounds, PMI offers nearly 200 ferrous and
non-ferrous alloys including aluminum, ductile iron, carbon, low
alloy and stainless steel, copper-based alloys and most recently
magnesium alloys for the
ultimate in light weight.
