Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Manufacturing with Precision Cast Prototyping
(pcPro®)
For the generation of plastic prototypes a unique technology was developed.
The name pcPro® stands for Precision Cast Prototyping.
The system consists of a combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing
methods. The solution is a low cost system that enables the generation
of parts with a high precision. The process chain to generate prototypes
is highly shortened, accompanied with the possibility of quick geometrical
changes. An automated solution can be used for Rapid Manufacturing as
well.
A prototype machine was presented at the Fraunhofer IWS workshop "Rapid
Technologies" in Dresden and shown at the Euromold tradeshow in Frankfurt,
Germany in December 2004.
