Rapid tooling in sand casting applications

Rapid tooling refers to process and technologies that help shorten time from planning to producing tools and with which the production costs are reduced. Classic technological procedures, such as turning, milling or casting are still the most common way of producing products from a wide range of available materials; rapid tooling is an option how to make those procedures faster, cheaper and better. On the example of the casting model we present the analysis of time and costs savings between separate procedures of rapid tooling according to classic production of casting application with high-speed cutting.
