Information on samples produced by Iwamoto Model Manufacturing Co., Ltd. using the "Light Shaping System."
This is an introduction to sample products manufactured using the "Light Sculpting System (Rapid Prototyping)" at Iwamoto Model Manufacturing, which conducts in-house integrated production from prototype of resin and metal parts to small lot production.
■ What is Light Sculpting?
Light sculpting is a three-dimensional layering modeling system that enables the production of master models and small lot mass production in a short time and at low cost. There are two types of resin used for modeling: a tough type (TSR-821) and a transparent heat-resistant type (SCR770), which are selected according to the application.
■ Features of Light Sculpting
- Master models for vacuum casting can be produced (ideal for vacuum casting)
- Excellent machinability (tapping, screw fastening, cutting, etc.)
- Superior toughness (ideal for fitting models; parts can be assembled)
- High precision of molded products (low hygroscopicity and minimal aging changes)
- Painting is also possible
