Capabilities
We cast, machine, treat and inspect parts in one facility. Below is the full process chain, performed in-house, from a single prototype to batches of a thousand.
01 · Services
No-bake, air-set sand casting in iron, steel and aluminium. The resin-bonded mould is rigid, so it holds a tighter tolerance and a better surface finish than green sand, and parts come out closer to final shape with less machining to follow.
A proprietary steel developed for the composite tooling industry, cast close to final form to reduce machining stock.
No minimum order. Single-piece prototypes through to runs of a thousand, cast the same way at every quantity.
4- and 5-axis milling of metals, aluminium and tooling board on Doosan and Acctek equipment, for prototype, short-run and small-batch work.
Moulds and patterns cut from PU and epoxy engineering board, and carbon fibre, glass fibre and kevlar components for aerospace and defence. Delivered through the CX Composites division.
3D part design, DFM review and in-house manufacture of patterns, moulds and tooling.
Stress relief and heat treatment to 1,000 °C, shot blasting and surface finishing.
Reproduction from a sample, worn original or legacy component, measured, modelled and remade.
Machined, inspected and assembled parts supplied ready to fit, not raw castings or blanks.
One supplier and one quotation, responsible for every stage above.
02 · Near net shape
Mould tools for the composite industry are cast near net shape in a proprietary in-house steel, then CNC machined to final dimension on the same site. This reduces machining time and material waste, and removes third-party handling between casting and finishing.
03 · Process
Every stage performed in-house. No outsourcing.
