Biocompatible Alloy & Precision Components
Precision medical castings in biocompatible alloys delivered in weeks — not months — with zero tooling investment required.
Rapid Precision Castings produces high-performance medical device components using our patented LAMP™ ceramic 3D printing technology — delivering first parts in 2–4 weeks at reduced cost, with no dies, patterns, or tooling required for prototyping or production.
Benefits of Rapid Precision Castings for the Production of Medical Components
Zero Tooling Investment Required
Traditional medical castings require $25,000–$100,000+ in dies and tooling before a single part is made, plus 16–20 weeks of lead time. Our LAMP™ technology eliminates that barrier:
10x Faster Development Timelines
Legacy investment casting processes take 52–80 weeks for tooling design and qualification. Digital Foundry™ delivers parts in as little as 2–4 weeks:
Production-Equivalent Material Properties
Few domestic foundries can deliver medical castings in biocompatible alloys that meet specific requirements for medical applications:
Industry Applications
Biocompatible Alloy Casting
We produce medical investment castings in FDA-recognized biocompatible materials with the precision required for medical applications:
- ASTM F75 castings for hip, knee, and orthopedic implants with tight tolerances.
- Stainless steel 316L components for surgical instruments and hospital equipment requiring durability and surface finish.
- Full material certifications, traceability, and ISO compliance supporting regulatory submissions.
- Critical applications in ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, and other care settings.
Complex Medical Components
Traditional investment casting cannot produce the complex geometries modern medical devices demand. Our LAMP™ process integrates all internal features into a single printed ceramic shell:
- Surgical instruments with intricate internal channels, cast in a single operation.
- Implantable devices with complex surface textures engineered for osseointegration.
- Feature resolution of tens to hundreds of microns, surface finishes below 4 microns RMS.
- Supports small, unique, and complex designs to enhance medical device functionality.

Our Medical Casting Process
Medical Device CAD Analysis and Optimization
Every medical casting begins with a fully optimized digital model — whether from your CAD file, 2D drawings, physical samples, or 3D scans. Our engineering team integrates all features into a single printable ceramic shell structure:
LAMP™ Medical-Grade Ceramic Shell Printing
Our proprietary Large Area Maskless Photopolymerization process prints ceramic investment casting shells directly from your digital file — no wax patterns, no core assembly, no traditional shell building. The result is a monolithic ceramic shell with all internal features integrated:
Biocompatible Alloy Casting and Quality Validation
Printed ceramic shells are thermally processed and sintered to over 99.5% density before casting. We produce a broad range of medical alloys for critical applications:
