Our iron casting process

Click on a step to learn more

We work closely with your engineering staff to understand your casting. We ask many questions upfront about materials and tolerances, tooling, and the environment where it will “live”.  This in-depth technical dialogue enables us to optimize your part's design and manufacturing cost, improve its castability, and ensure that it will meet your quality requirements.

1

Define product specifications

Our highly skilled, in-house pattern makers can build new tooling to meet your specifications. They follow strict manufacturing guidelines to ensure the highest quality castings. Our team is also capable of repairing existing tools and adapting them to our production processes.

2

Prepare tooling for production

Our stringent but streamlined approach sets the process for producing high-quality prototype castings and getting them into production quickly. That means fewer production delays in your factory. Whether it is an industry-standard Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) or your company specification, we can deliver the pertinent information for your quality control process.

3

New product sampling

Your casting enters production. Our LEAN processes and controls ensure we’re able to produce castings that meet or exceed your quality requirements - every time.

4

Manufacturing begins

We're always on the lookout for ways to eliminate additional costs from your castings while maintaining the highest level of production quality. Also, our flexible production scheduling system enables us to deliver castings when you need them.
