Acu-Cast Technologies specializes in simulated die
casting using the
Rubber Plaster Mold (RPM) process of
casting aluminum and zinc.
Utilizing your furnished prints or solid molding
capabilities, tooling can be created quickly and
inexpensively. Acu-Cast’s in-house process offers low-cost
Rapid Prototyping and low-volume production runs.
Rapid Prototyping BEFORE production saves time, effort
and expense.
One of the most disheartening events in the development of
die casting is to get the first samples back from the
production tool and discover that the part does not work as
intended. The problem can be caused by a variety of things:
- The die castings fall under operating
conditions;
- The die castings may not fit properly with
other components during assembly; or
- Maybe the customer simply doesn’t like the
way the die casting look.

These are just a few of the many reasons we recommend
companies always get a prototype made before they expand the
time, effort, and expense of having the production die made.
Tooling is used to create plaster (gypsum) molds in which
material of your choice is poured to produce your prototype
castings. Aluminum castings and zinc castings made using the
Acu-Cast process more closely simulates die castings than
any other Rapid Prototyping process. Material used in the
prototype parts provides reasonable approximately of the
physical properties of die casting alloys.
The first aluminum castings or zinc castings can typically
be delivered within two to four weeks from the date ordered.
