Prototyping and small series rethought
ExoPlast
The extension of the feeding width or depth is often helpful and technically possible. However, the production of contour crushing cores or inlays from exothermic material has so far been quite time-consuming in its preparation and only profitable for large quantities. Chemex is already successfully using an exothermic formulation. This is mixed with a Pentex binder system. ExoPlast is premixed and the binder is already bound in the granules. This means that only 2 components need to be mixed together by hand. Since no gaseous catalyst is needed here, the system can be used anywhere. Heat is also not required here, as the system cures independently.
Thermally, ExoPlast behaves exactly like exothermic feeders, which also makes simulations possible. Since the compound is free-forming, it can be applied directly to the model. An individual mold with a simple 3D print can also be implemented.Since ExoPlast is free-formable, it can be applied directly to the pattern or a mold can be made using a simple 3D printer to bring your ideas to life.
