Prototype Casting Development

Quality Pattern Works is pioneer in the field of designing and developing pattern equipments and moulds with complete in-house services under one roof. Prototype tooling can make foam patterns available to the casting customer more rapidly than production tooling and at a fraction of the cost. Prototype tooling can also be used to test process development and information gained is transferable to the production tooling process. There are several processes for manufacturing prototype tooling including Quick-Cut machined aluminium tooling, cast epoxy tooling, CNC machined epoxy tooling, CNC machined sintered metal tooling and other methods. The company’s preferred method of developing prototype tooling is to use a complete three-dimensional model of the part to manufacture Quick-Cut machined aluminium tooling. This method provides several advantages over other prototype tooling methods including superior dimensional accuracy, material durability and overall tool life. In addition, portions of the tooling including mould cavities and pulls can be adapted into the production tooling to reduce future tooling costs. Using prototype tooling methods to produce foam patterns in a standard foundry moulding and casting environment will result in patterns with an average higher cost than that of patterns made with production tooling. The average piece price, however, will be lower than Fabricated Foam patterns. The total cost of sample patterns should be calculated as the cost of the tooling plus the cost of set-up and moulding. For this reason, the best prototype application is when short pre-production runs of twenty to a few hundred pieces are required. The company has skilled personnel with expertise in die making, fixtures manufacturing and pattern making is capable to deliver high standard products. A team of creative design engineers who develop innovative drawings with the excellence in latest versions of global software like Catia-V5-R17, Delcam and I-deas, is ready to create futuristic designs.
