Utilizing an array of engineered ceramics and binders, the Unicast Process allows for molds to be created from standard foundry patterns typically of wood, plastic or metal. An advantage of the Unicast process is the simplicity of pattern preparation. No special materials are required, and the pattern can be a composite of various materials such as wood, metal, fiberboard, & glass, all joined together in the desired contours. Since the slurry is mixed and applied at room temperature, the pattern is unharmed and is reproduced in complete detail.
