Machining
Quality starts from the outset. All of our castings are designed with full 3D solid models consisting of the complete part with 3D simulation in our CAD/CAM systems, ensuring that all our cuts and tool paths are true. Our 4 axis machining capabilities and 30 years of experience allow us to provide fast delivery at competitive prices on all machined casting.
Solidification Modeling
Solidification modeling offers foundry engineers away to simulate the thermal conditions that occur during the investment casting process and develop a gating and assembly technique that produces a compliant part in the most economical manner. Modeling reduces development cost and time for new programs by experimenting with different assemblies and gating prior to actually running the parts, which eliminates the need for expensive and time consuming trial and error. Using the customer supplied CAD model of the casting and our own CAD models of the assemblies. The software is able to simulate the shell building and casting processes.
3D Printing/SLA Prototyping
Complex designs can be uploaded from a CAD model and printed in a few hours. The advantage of this is the rapid verification and development of design ideas. We can turn these ideas into production castings with out the costs of traditional wax molds. Visit the gallery.
