Manage the risk
- There are countless stories of the nightmare episodes of parts sourced from the Far East; wrong material, wrong shape, wrong month…..and when it eventually does arrive it can’t be used and can’t be returned!! You’ve probably had to buy a container load as well to get their attention, which has already been paid for in full!!
So how do you source a quality investment casting, commercial grade investment casting, sand casting or die casting supplier who is on the other side of the world and doesn’t speak much English? Try the web; but beware, all is not necessarily what it seems….and if you do find a decent foundry and actually go there and see it with your own eyes, how do you know for sure that your parts will be made there next time, or the time after?
The tales continue with initial samples being spot on, on time but this quickly deteriorates. And lets not forget, the Chinese are extremely good at producing what you ask for, but unless your instructions are crystal clear and all subjectivity removed, you may still be sampling this time next year. If the design won’t cast properly it won’t be challenged, and at best you will have variable quality.
And don’t forget the on costs; shipping, import duty, handling and storage fees, deferment, UK transport costs, inspection/ rework costs, scrap, storage, cash flow etc, etc.
DGI offer a guaranteed sourcing route from an engineering team with a combined 100 years experience in investment casting. Our aim is to supply an engineered solution which optimizes the design of the part and offers the most commercially viable option.

What's a viable quantity of investment casting to be sourced from abroad?
It really depends on the size and weight of the product. It could potentially be 50 to a 100 off if the weight is there, or for a small investment casting of say 100 grams it may be 250 off. Please forward your drawings or give us a call.
