This investment casting (lost wax) technology is designed to meet the demand for quick low cost metal prototypes: zinc, aluminium, bronze, brass and magnesium. In just 24 hours using "burn-out" models such as wax, laser sintered (SLS), ThermoJet or within 72 hours using solid models through silicone moulds and vacuum casting to produce multiples of wax models.

The MPA 1000. The largest Metal Part Casting Unit with 10 litres, 27.0 kg (59 lbs.) casting capacity in aluminium.

An automotive cylinder head weighing 25,5 kg in aluminium and an SLS model (Selective Laser Sintered) used as the burn out model to create the cavitiy in ceramic.

Only 5 days from the model to the finished casting.

Photo shows the complete MCP Metal Part Casting Equipment type MPA 300. The equipment is supplied as a complete package including machines, materials and customer training - worldwide. Designed for in-house casting of quick metal parts for users not experienced in casting high temperature metals. The casting equipment is totally encapsulated:
No Heat Radiation - No Dirt - No Fumes
