For rapid development of manufacturing technology of vital figurine cast parts, the use of the modern method of rapid prototyping, allowing to build-up ready models from photopolymer resin on the predesigned 3D-model using laser sintering plants, is of practical interest. The example of application of an integrated approach to the equipment design for manufacturing of figurine cast parts of power engineering is described in the paper. The chill mould design also involves the solution of the problems, related to the selection of the chill mould material since its thermal stability depends on the problem solution correctness. Recommendations on the selection of the mould material and results of experimental studies of thermal stability of moulds with inserts from Fe-Cu pseudo-alloy are given in the paper. The admissible temperature range for the use of Fe-Cu pseudo-alloy as inserts is justified.
