THIXOMOLDING
Everybody's talking about Thixomolding. This combination of metal casting technology and plastic injection molding is a revolutionary advancement, allowing the production of net shape metal parts in a single step.
Based on the principle that magnesium alloys become semi-solid at high temperatures, this process allows the alloys to be molded much like plastic, resulting in components that are light, strong and thin yet durable. Reduced finishing needs and quicker start-up and shutdown add to the cost-effectiveness of this innovative new metal molding process.
"V-PROCESS" CASTING
When it's a short run, look to Acme Alliance for value-added services with a capital "V". Prototype and low-volume production (bridging quantities) require special attention. Precision and quality are critical, but so is a quick turnaround.
Acme Alliance companies can help you meet your prototype and low volume production needs -- from 3-D prototype development to V-PROCESS aluminum castings.
Stereo
lithography and laser imaging enable the creation of prototypes
with a true 3-D look and feel, whether working from engineering
specifications or reverse engineering.
