Pricing

Value for money without compromising quality or lead time.

Our foundry tooling was once hand-made by craftsmen. Now we apply the latest CADCAM technology to produce high quality tooling within ever-shorter lead times.

We offer a bespoke service, with all tools designed and manufactured to your unique specification.

We produce your tooling from a range of materials, from the lowest density model board to hardened tool steel, and for a variety of casting processes, including:

  • Sand casting patterns and coreboxes - we specialise in Disamatic patterns, and shell & Laempe coreboxes
  • Investment casting dies
  • Low pressure dies
  • Gravity dies

Design & Manufacturing Process

  • With multiple CAD systems, we'll accept your 3D data in its neutral or native format.
