Prototyping

SinterCast has supported CGI product development since 1990.  Much of the development has been based on the production of prototype castings using portable SinterCast 'mini-systems' directly in Customer foundries.  Prototype components can also be produced at SinterCast’s Technical Centre in Katrineholm, Sweden (including local patternmaking for special orders) or at the rapid prototyping facilities of Grainger & Worrall in England.
