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.
