Technology
The pcPro® method is characterized by the application
of CAD/CAM, CNC-milling and casting technologies. Thus, it embraces forming
and subtractive technologies. Forming such as molding is a well known
process for the fabrication of prototypes. The investigated integration
of casting systems in CNC machining centers accompanied with a high degree
of automation offers higher productivity, profitability and quality of
the produced parts.
PCPro® includes data generation of the mold/part, casting
of the outer contour and milling of the inner contour. This combination
allows a flexible control adapted to the demands of the product development
process. The automation of the entire process chain enables Rapid Manufacturing.
