None at room temperatures. Negligible CTE at burnout.

Our Guarantee

With years of experience in the RP field we strongly believe that our rapid patterns for investment casting are of the very best quality, surpassing FDM, SLA, LOM or SLS.

If you find that any of the above processes outdo our detail, dimensional accuracy, surface quality and castability, we will arrange for return shipment and no charge for the patterns will apply.
