Casting Service Overview

Casting, a manufacturing process dating back 7,000 years, is often used to create heavy equipment such as machine tool beds, ship propellers, and the like. Parts can be cast at the required size and as one piece, rather than by joining smaller pieces together—as you might with other types of processes. With casting, complex shapes — difficult or uneconomical with other rapid-manufacturing methods — are possible. 

Casting manufacturing is a process in which liquefied material, such as molten metal, is poured into the cavity of a specially designed mold and allowed to harden. After solidification, the workpiece is removed from the mold to undergo various finishing treatments or for use as a final product. Casting methods are typically used to create intricate solid and hollow shapes, and cast products are found in a wide range of applications, including automotive components, aerospace parts, etc.
