The Berlin manufacturer of die casting parts GWP Manufacturing Services AG has developed a new prototype method with which cast prototypes can be manufactured in series are identical.
GWP is pursuing a new approach with its target absolutely identical series instead of only approximately similar mass die-casting mold parts economically. With one can THE PROTO up to max. 3,000 items to be cast. The new die-casting process does not vary as other developments of existing bonds with other methods (a modified die casting, lost-wax casting, Rapid prototyping using plaster molds, master models, etc.) - but is firmly committed to real die-cast tools. The construction of the massive steel molds, cast iron gate valves and channels were optimized until the cost of die-cast prototypes in the field were competitive. The Executive Board Rocco Weyers said: ". We have developed a new, simplified design, which costs significantly less expensive, reduces tool production - and with no loss in part quality to have," According to the manufacturer of the breakthrough came only after a limit of maximum mold size.
Pending a room size of 300 mm, the new die-cast prototypes produced. The delivery time is at least 22 working days, mainly for the Manufacturing the massive steel tools is needed. THE PROTO benefits by the possibility of a partial re-use of tool elements and a very simple adjustment for the pilot series. Significant cost and time advantages are significant according to the manufacturer for big success.
THE PROTO is likely to replace the future in many cases machined prototypes. At least where tests must be scheduled with real function prototypes, is the innovation of the GWP AG is a worthwhile alternative. Weyers looks next to the existing high proportion of aluminum die casting special potential in magnesium. Taking into account the particularities of this metal were still enormous Improvements in weight reduction achieved. Particular highlights of him while the automotive and mechanical engineering.
