Close Contour Casting / Close Contour Block

Close Contour Casting with RAKU-TOOL®. 3C stands for Close Contour Casting. With the innovative concept close contour models are produced through vacuum casting. 3C turns into 3D and your idea takes shape. The product porperties are fine tuned to meet your requirments - your 3C Casting is therefore of highest quality.
Close Contour Casting is supplied as a three dimensional shape which is already a close contour of your final shape.
Close Contour Block is supplied as a customized size of a rectangular, unmachined block.
