SUSTAMID 6G – Getting in shape

Semi-finished products in shape

Heavy duty storage system of DIMOS Maschinenbau – the shelves are equipped with slide rails made from SUSTAGLIDE

Design

Semi-finished products are near net shape casted parts, which are available standardized in the following designs with narrowly incremented dimensions:

rods
discs
blocks
sheets
tubes
rings
corex rods

Processing

The shape of the finished part is manufactured completely cut from the semi-finished product

Shape-optimized – special cast parts

Design

Special cast parts are near net shape casted parts, which already resemble the design of the finished part. Thus, special cast parts differ from semi-finished products via their dimensions or design. Therefore, they are “optimized semi-finished products.”

Processing

Special cast parts are optimized semi-finished products which are machine cut to shape on all sides. The final design is created through this process.

Completely shaped – cast parts

Design

Cast parts are near net shape casted parts, which primarily display complex design. Most areas already conform to the final design. Thus, cast parts differ from semi-finished products and special cast parts through their precision and/or complexity and/or design.
