ABSTRACT:
A synthetic model of a component is created from a 3-D numerical model thereof. A core is then cast inside the synthetic model. The synthetic model may then be removed from the cast core, and then the cast core is used for casting an authentic component therearound. The core is removed from inside the authentic component, which authentic component precisely matches the original synthetic model therefor.
