HT-1 Die casting prototype with gypsum casting
How about using gypsum casting for the prototype of the high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy "HT-1" for die casting? It features a short delivery time since no mold is required.
Gypsum casting is a casting method using gypsum molds. It allows for beautiful casting surfaces and dimensional accuracy comparable to die-cast products. It has good transferability and can reproduce uneven characters (such as part numbers and company logos) with a φ0.3 tool. It is ideal for producing prototypes, single items, and small lots with a wide variety of products. Since molds are not required, it can be provided with short lead times and low costs. It is particularly suitable for complex shapes, thin-walled, and hollow shapes that are difficult to manufacture with machining. The finished cast products are dimensionally measured using a three-dimensional measuring machine to ensure quality assurance. It can accommodate zero draft angles and undercuts, which are features of gypsum casting.
