CAD to Casting

Got a CAD file? We'll cast it.

3D-printed sand moulding combined with traditional casting techniques — faster iteration, no tooling delay. From your design file to a casting fast.

How We Work

Design for manufacture through to delivered part

We put your technical drawing through our design for manufacture process, pattern making, casting and CNC machining to get small-batch or prototype parts made.

Design

  • Design for manufacture
  • Technical drawing
  • Product enhancements

Pattern making

  • Traditional pattern making
  • 3D-printed sand patterns

Casting

  • Iron and aluminium casting
  • One-off and small-batch runs

Machining

  • CNC machining — vertical and horizontal

In-House Capability

Voxeljet 3D sand printer

What used to require time-consuming and expensive pattern tooling is now printed directly in sand — drastically reducing development lead times, slashing upfront tooling costs, and opening the door to complex geometries previously impossible with traditional methods.

Foundry Network

The right foundry for the job

We work with a network of trusted foundries across Australia, matching each project to the right partner for the material, size and volume involved.
