The foundation of the process is a 3D CAD file, either created by the client or by IMI RP on their behalf. From the CAD file, accurate SLA (stereolithographic) or SLS (selective laser sintering) models can be produced, sometimes in a matter of hours. In their raw state, or after finishing and painting, these models can be used for visualization, form, fit and function tests, or utilized as mould masters to form silicon and resin tools. In turn, these tools can be used to manufacture polyurethane parts designed to simulate a wide range of production materials. Waxes can also be cast and used to make metal components via the investment process.
