Direct Mold Milling / Reverse Engineering

The contacts provided by 35 years of experience are an invaluable benefit to our customers. These partners-in-business expand the abilities of LMP to provide you with a superior finished product.

Direct Mold Milling

LMP has worked with other industry leaders to develop this emerging method of manufacturing. Direct Mold Milling enables us to eliminate hard tooling, and the time necessary to produce it. With DMM we can significantly reduce the time and cost to sample a cast part. Coupled with reverse engineering, we can manufacture single replacement parts, or sample prototypes, without a commitment to the time and cost requirements of hard tooling.

• Direct Mold Milling can significantly reduce the time to produce an actual cast part. With customer-supplied solid surface data, molds and complex cores can be ready to pour in as little as twenty-four hours.
• LMP has the ability to produce a mold directly from your two-dimensional files or prints. With our SURFCAM software, we can even help you design your part.
  
  

Reverse Engineering

LMP can produce two-dimensional drawings and solid surface model data from your existing broken or obsolete part. From these files actual cast or machined replacement parts can be manufactured.
