Quantum Difference

QuantumCast™ vs Traditional RTV

Optimum Mechanical Properties are assured by first selecting the best advanced formula polymer and then meticulously controlling vacuum, heat, temperature, pressure and duration of each step. The benefit of this process is likened to annealing steel – producing parts with highest mechanical properties with no built-in stresses. Our AFP3100 offers Izod Impact Strength of 2.10 ft-lb/in. This is unattainable with traditional room temperature methods. Flexural modulus, tensile strength, elongation, heat deflection, and other properties are also maximized with QuantumCast™ next generation Cast Urethanes.

Void-free Castings are a predictable result of the QuantumCast™ process. This is assured with the proprietary vacuum differential fill method and the subsequent heat and pressure cure. In contrast, conventional RTV molding is performed at ambient temperature and pressure where bubbles and voids are often an unwelcome byproduct of the process.

Net Shape Master Patterns are a unique advantage of the Quantum- Cast™ process. Net shape patterns are not scaled to accommodate shrink like that of the traditional RTV molding process. Net shape master patterns may be used as exact form and fit models to verify critical fit prior to the casting process. The conventional RTV approach utilizes master patterns that have been scaled up to accommodate for shrink during the curing process making the pattern unsuitable for fit verification.

Micro-welded Inserts were developed at Solid Concepts as an answer to our customers’ requirement for extremely strong bonding for threaded inserts. This proprietary bonding is offered exclusively in QuantumCast™. Our torque test results demonstrated that the Microwelded inserts were on average 50 to 100% stronger than bonded inserts and over 100% stronger than heat staked inserts.
