Customers are facing issues with cooling hole channels of AM parts blocked by rust or scale.
3D printed cooling channels can not be polished by conventional method. To polish these complex cooling channels, we have developed a fluid hole polishing technology and are working to resolve these problems.
Castec's Strength
Point01
Polishing hole surface of AM parts and other parts available
It enables polishing of hole surface in complex-shaped channels, which was previously difficult with conventional method. Our strength is that we can polish without changing hole shape.
Point02
Increase flow rate and improve hole quality
Holes with improved surface roughness can increase flow rate, thereby enhancing product performance.
Water flowing through cooling channels in the mold causes rust and scale occurrence, which reduces flow rate and degrades cooling performance. Fluid hole polishing prevents rust and scale occurrence, and formed rust and scale can be removed by regular maintenance.
In general, AM mold parts are costly compared with the ones produced by conventinal way. However, our technologies enable extending shot life and delivering significant cost-effectiveness.
Point03
100% chemical-free
We use a liquid mixture of water and abrasive.
It’s completely chemical-free and eco-friendly sustainable material.
