Soligen's DSPC® technology is a proprietary fabrication process for metal parts that produces ceramic molds for metal casting directly from a CAD file. By this method, Soligen is able to produce a first article metal part that bypasses the traditional need for tooling. Additionally, Soligen's Parts Now® produces production tooling for larger runs of metal castings from the same CAD file as the approved part. Soligen has combined its DSPC( technology with conventional casting methods and Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machine practices. By combining these three production elements, the Company has created the first "one-stop-shop" for functional metal parts that are made directly from a CAD file and that are ready for assembly. This service, known as Soligen's Parts Now program has become a single source for out-sourcing of metal parts.
