Close Contour Casting

3C stands for Close Contour Casting and is the new innovative concept available from Amber Composites to produce close contour models through vacuum casting.

3C turns into 3D and your idea takes shape. The product properties are fine tuned to meet your requirements – your 3C is therefore of highest quality.

All close contour castings are supplied to customers cad data file.
Using the surface data, the light
material, e.g. PS or RAKU-TOOL
SB-0080 is machined to create a
close contour mould.
 A release agent is applied
and the cavity is filled through
vacuum casting.
De-moulding and post
curing of casting, then milling.

Description
Data Sheet
CC-6501
 1.62
Dark grey in colour. Easily machined with Good mechanical properties and good abrasion resistance.
CC-6502 1.68
Light grey in colour. Easily machined with low coefficient of thermal expansion. High compressive strength and good abrasion resistance.
CC-6503
 1.85
Blue in colour with a very dense structure. Very homogeneous, fine surface and as a result, very good surface or nickel bowl, i.e. little finishing required and therefore large cost savings. Easily machined with low
co-efficient of thermal expansion. Good abrasion resistance.
CC-6504 1.87
Beige in colour with a very dense structure. Easily machined. High compressive strength. Low co-efficient of thermal expansion. Tools do not need to be polished = time saving.
CC-6505
 1.87
Light grey with a very dense structure. Easily machined. High compressive strength. Low co-efficient of thermal expansion. Tools do not need to be polished = time saving.
CC-6506 0.90
Dark grey with a very dense surface structure. Can be polished. Good heat resistance with high compressive strength. Good resistance to chemicals. Time saving through direct milling of mould via surface data. Better pressing of sheet metal parts.
Amber Composites offer these products as part of their Liquid Tooling Systems range.
