| has traditionally used hand-held tools to remove minor flashes on its vacuum castings, but that led to worker fatigue and inconsitent quality. The other benefits of selective casting and machining is that the casting process saves the time for machining the outer surface of each part, while machining the inner dimensions can attain tighter tolerances than prototypes made with conventional vacuum casting.
