Last Updated : August 2006 MCP HEK After-Service with Customer Satisfaction After the rainy season and the humid summer was coming, then the MCP Nylon Vacuum Casting Machine made seldom incomplete casting parts. We have often phoned with MCP HEK engineers about a problem happened at the customer. A conclusion is that the polymerization of a chemical reaction may arise incompletely, and then Firm MCP HEK sent Mr. Robert Kalina to Japan and he confirmed phenomenon. The humidity gave moisture into the Nylon materials and the polymerization didn't happen. The customer changes to keep the Nylon Materials free from moisture. Then the Nylon Module was also exchanged from new one and Mr. Kalina gave his training to the customer again.The photo shows Mr. Kalina and the biggest mould which can be used in MCP HEK 5/04 Nylon Vacuum Casting Machine. Firm MCP HEK and we will give a full after sales service with the customer satisfaction for this new technology.

MCP-HEK's Suggested Layout for Nylon Vacuum Casting Room Home Page of Firm Plamerry Design MCP Nylon Vacuum Casting Technology Firm MCP-HEK Tooling GmbH, located in City Luebeck of North Germany, has a wordwide reputation for offering the widest range of techniques, materials, equipments and customer training in the field of rapid tooling technology. Up to the present the vacuum casted parts are mede from urethane and EP resins, and they are samples. However Firm MCP-HEK Toolin GmbH has developed a new rapid manufacturing process for producing prototypes and production parts in Nylon PA-6. This is a High Technology.
This new rapid manufacturing process has all advantages of MCP Vacuum Casting Technolgy - much quicker in only 6 minutes. Last Updated : October 2005 The visit to Firm MCP-HEK Tooling GmbH located in Luebeck City of north Germany in October 2005, and the conclusion of the Distributor's agreement MCP Vacuum casting, first introduced exclusively by MCP over 15 years ago, remains the most used process for replicating models for prototype production of parts in vacuum plastics, waxes, low melt alloys and, as the most recent development, in Nylon PA 6 thermoplastic. The MCP Vacuum Casting Process (now called the traditional or standard process) has proven to be the perfect solution, combined with generative Rapid Prototyping Technology, for improving time and quality and drastically reducing the cost of prototype production worldwide. The reason is that the MCP Vacuum Casting Process is extremely easy to learn and to apply.In October 2005 we visited Firm MCP-HEK Tooling GmbH with our customer, and met Mr. Hans-J Ihde, CEO and Mr. Stefan Ritt, Export Sales and Marketing Manager. We have gotten an information of MCP Vacuum Casting for Nylon PA 6. During our 3 days stay we saw the machinen and factory and got the demo operation, then we confirmed MCP new development technology. We placed an order of MCP Vacuum Casting machine at once. Our customer is expert in vacuum casting and he was sure new technology after he saw the Nylon part demoulded only in 6 minutes. The picture shows that Mr. Ritt explained us about the Nylon part.
