IS THE 3'x4' RIGHT FOR YOU?
A Versatile Choice for a Wide Range of Applications
IDEAL FOR:
MEDIUM-SIZED MOLDS & PARTS
Generous mold capacity without stepping up to our largest standard machine.
The 3' × 4' is our most popular standard rotational casting machine, offering significantly more mold capacity than the 2×2 without the footprint or investment of the 6×6.
A proven workhorse, it's a versatile choice for a wide range of casting applications and production environments.
VERSATILE PRODUCTION NEEDS
A practical all-around machine for a wide range of molds, materials, and applications.
PROTOTYPE & LIMITED RUNS
Well suited to prototypes, one-off projects, product development, and lower-volume production runs.
BALANCED CAPACITY & INVESTMENT
More working capacity than the 2×2 without the space requirements or cost of the 6×6.
WILL YOUR MOLD FIT?
NOT SURE IF YOUR MOLD WILL FIT?
Mold size, shape, weight and mounting position can all affect fit. Send us your mold dimensions and weight and we'll help you determine the right machine for you.
The 3' × 4' inner frame (gimbal) has a 32" × 44" internal opening, with additional mounting area available on the flat surfaces of the L-shaped frame. This allows molds to be mounted across an area up to 36" × 48".
Longer molds up to approximately 54" may also fit when positioned diagonally, provided their shape and mounting position allow them to clear the outer frame throughout rotation.
