Rapid Tooling Techniques

Direct Croning Process (DCP) - EOSINT S

EOSINT S is the newest development in laser-sintering. Molds for casting metal can be build directly in foundry sand in just a few hours from CAD data. No patterns or core boxes are required, and even extremely complex moulds can be manufactured by this layer manufacturing technique.

This method opens up new design possibilities which can in themselves often produce great savings, for example by reducing the number of core-pieces in a mould assembly. The logical progression from traditional mould-making to faster and more cost efficient modern methods is here taken a step further.

EOSINT S uses a coated foundry sand similar to widely used production materials, therefore this technology is also known as the "Direct Croning Process (DCP)". It offers an extremely fast route to metal prototypes in production materials and can even be used for one-off or small-series component production.
