MASTER PATTERNS

Master Pattern models from Precision Pattern can be used for a variety of manufacturing operations, including sand casting, rubber-plaster molding, epoxy tooling, hybrid tooling, RTV molding, and vacuum forming. Depending on the application, Precision Pattern can add texture and embossed or raised lettering to produce a production quality Master Pattern model. Precision Pattern produces Master Pattern models using SLA, and CNC technologies, depending on the specific requirements. Master Pattern models can be produced in as little as 3 working days. Precision Pattern customers use Master Pattern models to:

  • Produce silicone (RTV) molds for prototype production
  • Produce epoxy or composite tooling for low-volume molding
  • Produce vacuum formed prototypes and production parts

The best possible castings start with the best possible master patterns. It is not possible to make a superb casting without a great master pattern. While Stereo lithography patterns are often selected when time is of the essence, CNC master patterns offer increased accuracy and better design feature definition. At Precision Pattern, you don't have to compromise on quality to save time. We're experts at breaking up complex designs into multiple components that can be reassembled into highly accurate master patterns.

Since assembled CNC master patterns can be produced on multiple machining centers at the same time and since the number of set-ups is reduced, the patterns can usually be completed in a fraction of the time that would be required to machine the pattern out of one piece of material. With assembled CNC master patterns, you not only save time, but you also save money as material costs increase dramatically when thicker sheets are required. Accuracy is improved because we will split the geometry in such a way as to eliminate the need for complex setups, and when necessary, we will fabricate fixtures to ensure the components are assembled correctly.
