Readiness Package. Also see information on wax
properties:
MPI makes wax injection and handling equipment for
the investment casting industry. They provide
support for water soluble and non-soluble waxes,
including water soluble waxes that contain fibers
for added strength. Their current wax melter
suffers from issues with clogging when presented
with water soluble wax flakes with fibers in them.
The goal of this project is to design a new wax
melter that is capable of handling the soluble wax
flakes that contain fibers without clogging or
jamming.
