11 RAKU TOOL l Close Contour products Every job is different. So are our solutions. Close Contour Pastes, Close Contour Blocks, and Close Contour Castings are high-performance products and the result of targeted development work and years of practical experience. We tailor our Close Contour products to your specific requirements quickly and effectively. Close Contour Pastes The paste is applied to a close contour shape supporting structure, cured and then machined according to CAD data. RAMPF Tooling Solutions also offers a Close Contour Paste application service. Your benefits > Close Contour shape > Rapid milling > Little waste > Seamless, fine surface Close Contour Blocks Special blocks are produced in well-known board quality according to customer specifications (L W H) and supplied as customized, rectangular, unmachined blocks. Close Contour Castings Close Contour Castings are supplied as a three-dimensional shape which is already a close contour of the final shape. The production process takes place in-house at RAMPF Tooling Solutions. A light close contour mold (e. g. EPS or RAKU TOOL SB-0080) is machined using the area-based data supplied by the customer. A release agent is applied and the mold filled using a special casting process. Demolding and post curing of the casting is next, followed by machining. Very close co-operation between the customer and RAMPF is essential during this process. 06I07

The customer has to assess how many mm machining/processing offset is needed for the unmachined block he receives. We recommend a machining/processing offset of 10 mm. Dimensions ordered = dimensions supplied, within the specifications. Close Contour Blocks are unmachined, only basic cleaned cast blocks. Some release agent residue on the surface is possible. Sharp edges are milled due to risk of injury. CC: For a dimensions of up to 1000 mm, an offset of 20 mm per surface to be worked on must be added. All larger dimensions need to have a shrinkage offset of % (dependent on product) + offset for processing of minimum + 10 mm per surface. However, each project still needs to be discussed with the responsible project manager at RAMPF Tooling. RAMPF Group, Inc Wixom Tech Drive l Wixom, Mi 48393, USA T l F E info@rampf-group.com
