Foam polystyrene

Overview
Filigree EPS models for the innovative full-mold casting process. Storopack’s EPS models for lost-foam full-mold casting enable the production of complex, highly detailed metal castings by reproducing intricate contours with precision.

Process
EPS foam models are embedded in a sand mold and evaporate when they come into contact with molten metal. The evaporating model creates a void which is then filled by the molten metal, resulting in a casting that exactly matches the geometry of the EPS model.
