Design
Casting design + DFM consulting
SolidWorks-led manufacturability analysis before any tooling spend. Geometry adjusted for moldability, solidification behavior, and downstream machining. We catch the problems on the screen, not on the floor.
- SolidWorks
- DFM review
- Concurrent engineering
Tooling
3D-printed pattern development
Rapid prototype patterns produced in-house. Pattern iteration in days instead of weeks. Supports low-to-mid volume production and lets customers validate geometry before committing to hard tooling.
- Additive patterns
- Rapid prototyping
- Low-volume flexibility
Cast
Sand casting — including V-process
Cast iron and ductile iron, 10 to 1,000 lbs. Engineered gating and risering systems control metal flow and solidification. Melt chemistry and pour parameters are optimized per part to minimize inclusions, porosity, and shrink.
- V-process
- Grey iron
- Ductile iron
Process
Gating, risering, defect reduction
Gating design, risering layout, and controlled solidification strategy reduce scrap and rework. Root-cause analysis on inclusions, porosity, and surface defects — solved at the process level, not papered over with downstream fixes.
- Gating + risering
- Melt chemistry
- Defect analysis
Machine
In-house horizontal CNC
Mastercam toolpath programming. Fanuc and Mazak controls. Critical features held to ±0.0005”. Machining strategy is integrated early so cast geometry supports the finished tolerance, not just the rough shape.

Validate
Inspection + simulation
Process and finished-part validation through simulation, CMM inspection, and real-world testing. A 2026 clean-room inspection department supports temperature and humidity controlled measurement to .0001" on machined surfaces.
