Pioneering the future
of Casting Innovation

Combining advanced foundry technology and extensive experience to innovate casting manufacture and deliver geometrically complex cast components for high performance and light weight applications.

MAGMASOFT© Virtual Casting Simulation

Utilising MAGMASOFT© virtual simulation software allows for casting feasibility before prototype manufacture by analysing solidification, mould filling, defect identification and stress analysis before and after casting.

3D CAD Modelling &
Mould Pack Design

Specialist method engineers utilise the latest 3D CAD software to optimise casting design and create optimal mould assembly packages complete with precise split lines, core layouts and clearances that are dimensionally accurate and repeatable.

Revolutionising Sand Casting with 3D Sand Printing

3D sand printing enables the rapid manufacture of moulds and cores with complex geometries and undercuts, providing complete design freedom, reduced lead times and improved accuracy and repeatability.

Advanced Prototype & Volume Series Foundry

Semi-automated prototype and volume series foundry enables the manufacture of geometrically complex sand castings in aluminium alloys and specialist iron and steel grades.

Non-Destructive Testing Guaranteeing Casting Integrity

Advanced non-destructive testing facility providing powerful 2D radio tomography and 3D computed tomography inspection, ensuring high-integrity castings every time.

Accredited Metallurgical Testing & Analysis

Material Control is monitored by continual metallurgical analysis in our in-house metallurgy laboratory equipped with non-ferrous and ferrous spectrometers, microscopes for examination of microstructures and tensile testing machines.

Precision 5-Axis
CNC Machining

State-of-the-art CNC machining division, machining complex geometry, close tolerance components in a wide range of material grades.

Dimensional Validation Utilising Advanced CMM Technology

Utilising the latest CMM technology including 3D geometric optical scanners and programmable probe stations for dimensional validation of machined castings.
