A wide range of specially formulated machinable board materials in various densities and material properties offer all possibilities for the construction of design, styling, master and cubing models as well as various molds and other manufacturing tools.

Extrudable pastes fulfill the requirements of joint-free, near-net-shape models in the highest quality. The low-dust, fast machining is carried out very precisely using CNC milling.

Alternatively, casting resins in different viscosities and curing speeds can be applied by hand or machine in different casting methods. The Sika product range offers a wide array of characteristics based on requirements;  from rubber-elastic to super-tough resins while also offering necessary resistances to mechanical, thermal or chemical stress.

 

Specially formulated machinable boards with associated adhesives and putty fillers can be used for the construction of design or master models as well as for various manufacturing molds and tools.
