Permanent Mold

Our variety of permanent mold, gravity-fed die casting machines offer the flexibility and capacity for production runs large and small, with tighter dimensional tolerances and a superior surface finish over sand castings, making for a great alternative to expensive high-pressure die cast processes.

Finishing

Our finishing process includes taking cooled, molded cast assemblies and preparing them for use. Depending on the casting type, finishing may take several steps or processes on our in-house equipment.

Prototypes

We utilize a proprietary process that allows us to turn around a 3D CAD file to “95% accurate” casting prototypes in roughly a week. We also work with partners where we can “print” a sand pattern that will give you a production accurate part, typically in a few weeks, saving you valuable development time and money.
