Rapid tooling

Rapid tooling Reviews the contribution to “rapid tooling” of QuickCast 1.0 and QuickCast 1.1. Explains the genesis and development of QuickCast 1.0, illustrating both its technical ability, and its capacity for saving time and money, and also outlining its industrial shortcomings. Gives a thorough elucidation to the more recently introduced QuickCast 1.1 at both theoretical and practical levels – its range of potential applications being documented through case studies – and presents it in terms of its capacity to solve those problems that its predecessor could not. Discusses in detail the characteristics of solutions to these problem areas and provides test results obtained at various foundries. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png World Class Design to Manufacture Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Reviews the contribution to “rapid tooling” of QuickCast 1.0 and QuickCast 1.1. Explains the genesis and development of QuickCast 1.0, illustrating both its technical ability, and its capacity for saving time and money, and also outlining its industrial shortcomings. Gives a thorough elucidation to the more recently introduced QuickCast 1.1 at both theoretical and practical levels – its range of potential applications being documented through case studies – and presents it in terms of its capacity to solve those problems that its predecessor could not. Discusses in detail the characteristics of solutions to these problem areas and provides test results obtained at various foundries.
