Our Manufacturing Processes & Services
Specialising in investment casting with UK manufacturing facilities, we also provide fully risk managed and quality assured low cost China supply of higher volume investment castings, die castings, MIM and forged parts including additional processes of machining, heat treatment, assembly and various surface finishes.
Manufacturing Processes
(Premium Grade) Investment Casting

Also called lost wax process: highly accurate, repeatable, complex castings, wide metal range.
(Commercial Grade) Investment Casting

Similar surface finish, cast tolerances to sand casting but better cast integrity, flexibility
Die Casting

Good dimensional accuracy, excellent surface finish, more suitable for high volume production.
Metal Injection Moulding (MIM)

Offers high accuracy and integrity, very cost effective production of high volume small items.
Forging

Low cost process suitable for parts requiring the highest integrity and mechanical properties.
Additional processes, treatments & finishes

For parts in fully finished condition we offer machining, plating and other finishing options.
Aluminium Investment Casting

High strength, high integrity aluminium investment casting
Casting Sourcing

The required design and technical output at the outset of the casting sourcing process
