Jim,
Users of the Direct Croning Process (DCP) are listed in the Service
Bureau list on our home page at http://www.eos-gmbh.de. Look for those
listed with EOSINT S machines. A great many successful projects have
been done so these users should be able to give you some good first-hand
information.
Regards,
Mike Shellabear

Betreff: DTM's Sandform or EOS's DCP Process
Greetings RPer's,
I'm looking for comments from people with experience using DTM's
Sandform process or the comparable DCP (direct croning process)
process
from EOS in Europe. The above two systems sinter resin coated
sand into
sand casting cores and molds. I am intrigued by this method
because it
allows aluminum casting in small batches that is virtually
identical to
production casting in high volumes.
I've not had a lot of luck contacting SLS or casting service
bureaus in
the US. The same goes for from DTM, as it seems their sandform
module
hasn't really gained acceptance with SLS users. I guess they are
not
even marketing the product anymore.
I would appreciate any information on the subject.
Thanks for your help.
