Summary:

The need for converting 3-D models quickly into aluminum castings has found a new niche. The V-Process is unique as a form of sand casting in that the castings have a smooth surface finish and good dimensional accuracy. Moreover, the process does not require draft angles on the castings.The advantages of this casting process are:Tooling or patterns for the V-Process are constructed of machined plastic or Sterolithography (SLA) models. All of these methods of producing patterns result in unlimited life patterns capable of supporting both prototype and production requirements.Because of these advantages this process is an excellent choice for both prototype and production castings
