Casting Development

Close liaison with our customers to fully understand their product requirements

It is vitally important that any Iron Casting design incorporates the needs of the sand casting process to ensure that the casting is produced in the most cost effective way while ensuring that the component is of the highest possible integrity.

 

We extensively use the facilities of CAD and the latest technology Iron Casting simulation programme.  By opening dialogue and electronic exchange with our clients from an early stage we are able to offer practical advice to ensure technical and commercial criteria are optimised for the benefit of both parties.

 

Our methods department use Magma Iron, an advanced casting simulation programme. This programme simulates both mould and cooling processes and is used for:

• Optimising Iron Casting design

• Feed design

• Designing patterns

• Quality expectations
  
  

We strive to learn as much as possible about the product requirements at the outset of the contract. By adopting this approach we have built strong relationships with our client's technical and quality representatives and this very often results in commercial benefits for all concerned.

Accepted formats for CAD based production include STL, IGES, DXF, DWG, TIF and PDF.
