I am looking for input on any RP processes which might fulfill the
following needs and requirement below. Machining is already being used but
I have a colleague who wants to know if there is a lower cost RP process
which can replace/augment their current method.
- What RP technologies after being fabbed can withstand temperatures of
299-325 degrees F and be used as a porous cavity mold with simple .10'"
recessed geometry for vacuum forming/molding? Overall mold size would be
.75" x 10.2" x 13.8"
- What RP technologies after being fabbed can withstand temperatures of
399-425 degrees F and will be used as a "TOOLING" plate with .125"
raised bosses of simple geometry? Overall plate size would be .75" x 10.2"
x 13.8"
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ken Kornele
