Rapid Tooling Concept   Always at the forefront of technological study and innovation, EXCO ENGINEERING's proprietary implementation of the Rapid Tooling Concept earned praise from a leading technological publication: "A milestone in the USAMP ( United States Automotive Materials Program ) project to develop rapid tooling technologies for faster production of functional die cast prototypes was recently achieved. Exco Engineering, Newmarket, Ontario, completed a prototype die ( and resultant machined casting ) for a Saturn converter housing in just 7.5 weeks...(Exco's) sophisticated plant-wide data system fully exploits the 3D-part database supplied by the customer for programming and optimization of each step...the supplied machined prototypes exceeded expectations of all parties in terms of quality and timing..."           - Die Casting Engineer, September/October 1998 pp. 16-20.
