Il CastformTM PS è un materiale a base di stirene compatibile con la maggior parte dei processi da fonderia.
Si tratta di un materiale adatto ad ottenere stampi per la fusione dei metalli per piccole o medie serie senza l’ausilio di attrezzature aggiuntive.
Applicazioni tipiche sono:
- Stampi per la fusione dei metalli
- Piccoli e medi lotti produttivi
- Stampi per colate in gesso
- Stampi per la fusione di titanio
