Bastech, Inc. Rapid Prototyping • Rapid Manufacturing

CNC

In cases where sintered LaserForm A6  tooling is not the correct solution for your application, due to part size, tolerance, geometry, or quantities required, Bastech, Inc. has applied its rapid tooling methodology to traditional machined aluminum and P-20 tooling.

Our rapid tooling capabilities; direct from your 3D data; are coupled with traditional tool making skills and a responsive fast-paced working environment. We offer our customers a mix of technologies to produce prototype, bridge and low-volume molded parts in production intent thermoplastic materials. Could your company benefit from typical lead time reductions of 35-70%? Typical lead-time for machined aluminum or P-20 tools ranges from 3 to 6 weeks.

For larger prototype parts where strength and durability are critical, Bastech offers computer numerical control machining (CNC). This rapid prototyping process is enhanced by offering reproductions in acrylic, polycarbonate, nylon, glass-filled nylon, tooling boards, aluminum-filled epoxy and wood. Bastech offers the following CNC options:

What is CNC?

The abbreviation CNC stands for Computer(ized) Numerical(ly) Control(led), and refers specifically to the computer control of machine tools for the purpose of (repeatedly) manufacturing complex parts in metal as well as other materials, using a program written in a notation conforming to the EIA-274-D standard and commonly called G-code. CNC was developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s by the MIT Servomechanisms Laboratory. CNC machines were relatively briefly preceded by the less advanced NC, or Numerical(ly) Control(led), machines.
