Do you need parts finished immediately?
You get the most perfect rapid prototyping techniques to meet your most immediate needs:

• Machinable Waxes
  Very hard machining wax designed for proofing, CNC programs, constructing models, prototypes and master patterns. Machinable wax machines easier than plastic tooling boards or metals without sacrificing quality of finish, surface detail or accuracy of dimension.
  
  
• Epoxy and Silicon Molds
  Pourable epoxies and silicone rubbers are designed for rapid prototyping of tooling, general plastic tooling and silicone mold-making. They offer high accuracy.
  
  
• Stereolithography:
  Sterolithography equipment scans a single cross section of a CAD design onto a vat of liquid photopolymer resin. The resin is transformed from liquid to solid in thin, highly accurate layers. This computer-driven process is repeated, layer-by-layer, until the prototype is complete.

Precision Casting Specialists
Experts in producing your highly intricate and detailed castings. Shelmet's short run precision casting specialists have significant experience managing any size metal casting run from 1 piece projects to 50,000 detailed parts having weights ranging from a fraction of an ounce to over 10 pounds

Investment Casting
Investment casting is less costly than other methods of metal casting work such as die-casting and machined components. “ Near Net-Shape ” is a benefit provided by the investment metal casting process that reduces the amount of metal casting material waste and labor costs. All popular metal alloys can be poured in the investment process giving your project the most versatile design possiblities and highest tolerance controls.

Comparison Charts
Stronger materials, better surface finishes, thinner walls, complex internal configurations. As you can see from the following charts, investment casting offers many advantages over alternate metal processing techniques.

Over 100 Metal Alloys
Shelmet Investment Castings pours more than 100 different ferrous and non-ferrous metal alloys with the newest advances in investment casting technical methods

Investment Casting Tolerances
The cost of any part increases in direct proportion to the precision of the part's tolerance requirements. This factor in determining a part's cost applies to castings, as well as fabricated and machined parts. Investment casting, however, is designed to minimize the cost of producing parts within a tight range of tolerence
