Direct Shell Production Casting (DSPC?), is a rapid manufacturing process dedicated to the production of functional cast metal parts. DSPC works by producing ceramic casting molds, with integral cores, directly from CAD files, thereby eliminating the need for patterns and core boxes. This enables engineers to exploit multiple design iterations concurrently (including testing engine heads and blocks cast in different alloys), consequently expediting the design phase.
