Our 3D printer technology is a state-of-the-are process that utilizes modeled geometries for pattern production. The printed pattern can then be used in the investment casting process. Sturm Rapid Response Center's large 3D printer is capable of producing patterns within its working envelope (20" X 24" X 16"). Typical "print" time is less than four hours.

We pour a wide range of iron, carbon, stainless and duplex steel along with copper based metals all of  which are certifiable to ASTM specifications using our 32 element spectrometer. Included in our pouring capablities are nickel based alloys, such as Hastelloy™ and Inconel™ metallurgies. We can produce to supplemental specifications as required.

Sturm Rapid Response Center utilizes two gas and two electric heat-treat ovens controlled by a Honeywell processor. Heat treating is performed in-house using PLC's to control our furnaces ramp, soak, and cooling cycles.

With each of our foundry coworkers having over 15 years experience, our staff is highly trained to make sure the metallurgical content and heat treat requirements are met to match our customers needs.
