Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Werkstueckprototyps

The method consists of a repeated sequence of the following steps: (a) application of a thin layer (13) consisting of a mould material, with cutouts (14) corresponding to the workpiece geometry, onto a carrier structure (18); and (b) filling of the cutouts with a castable workpiece material (16). The mould material is removed after a required number of repetitions of the above two steps. Alternatively thin layers of a workpiece material is applied onto a carrier structure. The layers are provided with contour lines and cutouts or grooves which subsequently are filled with a mould material. After a required number of repetitions of these steps the mould material is removed. USE - For production of workpiece prototypes consisting, in particular, of metals or ceramics. ADVANTAGE - Prototypes are produced in a simple and quick manner. Prototypes exhibit properties similar to those of the subsequent workpieces produced in series.
