experts in model making. The centre encompasses a wide range of additive manufacturing technologies (SLS, SLA and FDM), which means that an optimal combination of technologies can be optimal combination of technologies for the manufacture of the models.
Digitalization and scale model making
Explanatory model
Explanatory models make it possible to reproduce to scale different types of objects or structures with the aim of showing their proportions and
volume. Thanks to additive manufacturing, it is possible to replicate details with a high degree of definition and to apply different types of surface finishes.
Advantages
- Show and make visible a scaled environment.
- Modularity between the elements of the model.
- Very useful for explanations, presentations or demonstrations.
Applications
- Museums, emblematic sites or cultural spaces.
- Architecture, engineering or product design studios.
Pedagogical model
Educational models make it possible to reproduce different types of objects or structures to scale. It is envisaged that the model can be interactive.
and can be manipulated. In this way, the understanding of the concepts to be represented is achieved through an experience
practical, where students can observe, touch, experiment and manipulate the elements of the model.
Advantages
- Show and feel a scaled environment.
- Modularity between the elements of the model.
- Very useful for explanations, presentations or demonstrations.
- Facilitate the learning process.
Applications
- Museums, emblematic sites or cultural spaces.
- Educational spaces.
Accessible model
We make accessible models for people with other abilities. These people are able to understand and perceive the environment.
interacting with the model. This is intended to facilitate understanding and the learning process.
Advantages
- Show and feel a scaled environment.
- Adaptation and understanding of learning.
- Very useful for explanations, presentations or demonstrations.
Applications
- Museums, emblematic sites or cultural spaces.
- Educational spaces.
The 5.1 PLC machine is the smallest of Renishaw’s PLC controlled vacuum casting systems, yet it has all the process control and user interface advantages of the larger machines. The 5/01 PLC machine is prepared to cast the full range of Renishaw’s PU resins and, in addition, it also has Renishaw Vari Vac technology, that allows efficient casting of high-viscosity materials, such as silicone rubber, by applying differential pressure to quickly introduce the material into the mold.
It also allows the production of wax master models for lost wax casting processes and low melting point alloys thanks to the heated cup option.
Features
- Maximum mold size: 520 x 445 x 425 mm
- Pumping capacity: 25 m³/h
- Maximum vacuum: 0.5 mbars
- Straining capacity: Up to 0.8 liters
The gamma 5/04 PLC, Renishaw is a large size vacuum casting machine aimed at the industrial sector. This series is differentiated by its ability to accommodate a range of larger molds that allow the manufacture of larger parts and / or industrial performance.
They have a brewing capacity of up to 5.5 liters (with double robot mixing) and the advantages of the casting module Renishaw Nylon Plus (high performance glass or fiber-filled polymer), differential pressure casting Vari Vac (for soft-touch materials), the PLC control to ensure uniform casting and the heated cup module option, suitable for casting master models in high quality wax and low melting point alloys.
Features
- Maximum mold size: 550 x 800 x 600 mm
- Pumping capacity: 65 m³/h
- Maximum vacuum: 0.5 mbars
- Pouring capacity: Fins to 5.5 liters
