RAKU® TOOL: Maximum durability. Maximum precision. Built‑in sustainability.

Your challenges – our solution

Your Challenge

Foundries face mounting pressure: wear, dimensional inaccuracies, and long cycle times lead to scrap and unnecessary costs. Traditional materials often swell, are difficult to machine, and offer little to no sustainability benefits.

Every deviation in the tooling results in additional labor — every material weakness impacts the quality of cores, patterns, or pattern plates. Inefficient processes steal valuable time and cut into margins.

 

Our Solution

RAKU® TOOL materials are engineered for maximum abrasion resistance, outstanding dimensional stability, and easy machining. Whether board materials or liquid systems, RAMPF delivers durable, robust, and sustainable solutions for core and mold making processes.

We provide reliable epoxy and polyurethane tooling systems engineered for pattern plates, core boxes, milling models, full casting, and lay-up applications. These systems are designed to ensure long service life, high dimensional accuracy, and efficient processing — supporting customers from prototyping through large-series production.
