Services
High-Pressure Die Casting
Our high-pressure die casting process produces near-net-shape components with excellent dimensional accuracy and smooth surfaces. Using cold- and hot-chamber machines, we work with aluminum, brass, and bronze alloys to create parts for automotive, aerospace, and medical industries. This method reduces secondary machining needs and supports rapid, high-volume production.
Machining
We offer horizontal and vertical machining with up to five-axis CNC capabilities for milling, drilling, and tapping. Our automated systems ensure tight tolerances and minimal operations, while partnerships with local coating providers enhance surface finishes. This service complements our casting solutions for a one-stop manufacturing experience.
Engineering
Our engineering team collaborates with clients from initial design through production to optimize manufacturability and cost-efficiency. Using SOLIDWORKS CAD and EKKcapcast simulation software, we refine designs virtually, reducing lead times and preventing mold alterations while ensuring compatibility with casting processes.
Sand Casting
We provide sand casting for complex geometries and large components using advanced simulation tools to predict solidification patterns. This process accommodates a wide range of alloys and minimizes costs for low-to-medium volume production, ideal for heavy equipment and industrial applications.
Permanent Mold Casting
Our permanent mold casting uses reusable molds for high-quality, repeatable parts with superior surface finishes. This method is ideal for medium-volume production of components requiring durability and dimensional consistency, serving industries like automotive and lighting.
