Product Development
Investment castings have been traditionally specified for applications requiring exceptional accuracy, thin wall capability, complexity, and fine detail reproduction.
We emphasize early customer involvement and offer design support ranging from a simple tolerance review to full scale concurrent engineering.
Key Capabilities
- One-piece configurations producible for almost any part
- Internal coring capabilities unavailable through other processes
- Ability to switch between ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Minimized machining requirements
- CAD/CAM technology for metallic die and tooling manufacturing
Die Development Process
IC Drawings Preparation
Investment Casting drawings are prepared from machining drawings with precise dimensional specifications.
Dimensional Inspection
Comprehensive visual and dimensional inspection is conducted to verify all specifications.
Die Material Selection
Die material is selected based on cavity count, complexity, production life, and dimensional stability requirements.
Die Development
Die development emphasizes hardened dowel pins, proper machining, ground finish block faces with 90-degree perpendicularity.
Cavity Polishing
Precision cavity polishing ensures smooth surfaces without dents, scratches, or excess material.
Die Design Specifications
IC Drawing converts to Die Design Drawing via CAD software, considering parting line positions, injection points, and gate positions for multi-cavity dies.
