QuantumCast™ is a proprietary multi-step technology that applies
vacuum, heat and pressure to process advanced formula polymers
(AFP’s) yielding void-free, strong and stable pre-production and shortrun
production components. This low pressure injection molding into
reinforced soft tools combines the benefits of rubber molds (speed
and versatility) with quantum improvements in mechanical properties of
our AFP materials.
Developed by Solid Concepts, this next generation polyurethane technology
surpasses conventional RTV urethane casting. Those familiar
with cast urethanes know that all two part polymer systems fully cross
link only under elevated temperature. Additionally, processing under
high pressure eliminates shrink and enhances final mechanical properties.
Attention to process control delivers optimum mechanical properties.
Specifically, our AFP3100 has over three times the impact
strength of old-style cast urethanes and at the same time offers excellent
rigidity (high flex modulus).
Other unique offerings from QuantumCast™ are Micro-welded inserts,
the strongest threaded inserts available in cast polymers, and net
shape master patterns. Some of the industries currently embracing
QuantumCast™ include:
Consumer Electronics
Medical Equipment/ Devices
Automotive
Heavy Equipment
Sports Equipment
Aerospace/ Military
