This sounds like a good application for the LENS process. We can lay down
both aluminum and copper from a CAD file and create a structure with both in
there, in just about any design of interest. Give me a call and I'd be
happy to discuss this with you.

Subject: cast dissimilar materials within the same cast component
hi everybody
Can anybody help me with the following problem !
I need to cast dissimilar materials within the same cast component, to
overcome a thermal issue. The base material will be aluminium, with copper
insert or inserts. The Approx. size for the base is 300mm x 300mmx 70mm.
Also the process will need to be rapid, time frame needed 2-3 weeks from the
receipt of 3-d cad data.
many thanks in advance Nik Duvnjak
