The reports contain information gathered in the technology mapping carried out among the European investment-casting sector on the use of new technologies. Information on both the research being done in subjects related to software use, rapid prototyping and environmental management as well as the use of these tools by the industrial companies is shown in different reports corresponding to the deliverables of work package 6 on Technology Mapping.
The introduction of rapid prototype models in precision foundry applications is seen as an excellent way to decrease the time to market new products, reduce the tests needed to optimise the feeding and filling systems of the components and production of low series and prototypes. Models can be obtained that are compatible with the precision foundry operations in very short times and competitive prices.
There are presently many technologies that work with different materials and provide models with different technical features. These models can substitute wax models and even though their behaviour is somehow similar to the wax, there are always important aspects that must be taken into account. (The burning out cycles, tolerances obtained, surface roughness, the ash content etc.)
The best practice procedure is a document that describes all the parameters that must be taken into account when working with rapid prototyping models in order to obtain a final good casting. Aspects such as the different burning cycles needed for each RP technology/material, cleaning and handling operations, surface improvement, waste recycling etc will be contemplated in order to avoid the most usual problems when working with rapid prototypes. Case studies are included that provide examples of potential applications.
The SARE website is organised in two different levels: a public area and a restricted area. The website contains the following information:
Public area:
- Introduction with general information about SARE, the members of the thematic network, objectives etc.
- Newsletters: The quarterly electronically published newsletters of the project.
- Partners: Information on the SARE partners and links to their websites.
- Rapid Prototyping: An overview of the RP technologies that is suitable for foundry applications.
- Simulation: Data obtained from the simulation tasks on WP2. Reference component and information on the materials selected, software etc.
- Environmental aspects: Information related to environmental aspects within the investment casting sector.
- Workshop: Summary of the articles presented in the workshop held in Stuttgart in March 2003.
- Further information with interesting links to websites and related projects.
Members' section:
The members' section contains all the deliverables of the six work packages as well as the minutes of the meetings and information on the companies taking part in SARE. Additional information and reports created by the different working groups is also included. There are also 36 small reports that show the works carried out each month.
The aim of the purchase procedure is to make sure that the communication between the RP model supplier and the foundry is good and the latter receives the product with the required properties and dimensions.
Rapid prototype models are used for many different applications (foundry expendable models, functional components, reference components, design models etc) and each of these applications has their own requirements. In the case of precision foundries important factors such as surface quality, tolerances, nature of the material with which the model is built, etc. are essential factors that affect the validity of the final cast product. Therefore the quality and repeatability of the models must be assured as much as possible. The purchase procedure identifies which are the essential parameters that must be specified by the foundry in order to make sure that the optimum casting conditions are obtained.
