Component review & DFM
Review geometry, wall sections, draft, radii, parting considerations, critical features and machining allowances.
Manufacturing expertise
Aluminium casting support from drawing to production
A connected service covering component review, gravity-die development, aluminium casting, specified machining, inspection and repeat supply for industrial OEM requirements.

Manufacturing decisions connected across every stage
A reliable casting project begins before molten metal reaches the die. Component geometry, alloy, expected quantity, tooling concept, casting method, machining allowances and inspection requirements influence one another.
By reviewing these inputs together, we help buyers move from an initial drawing or sample toward a clearly defined, manufacturable component and repeat production plan.
Core capabilities
Services across the casting lifecycle
Each service is scoped to the approved drawing, commercial quantity and agreed division of responsibility.
Die design & development
Plan gravity-die tooling around filling, feeding, release, trimming and the expected production requirement.
Gravity die casting
Manufacture custom aluminium alloy components for electrical, thermal and general engineering applications.
Insert casting
Consider customer-specified inserts and embedded features where component design and process feasibility allow.
Machining
Machine defined faces, bores, holes, threads and assembly interfaces according to the agreed drawing scope.
Inspection support
Plan dimensional and visual checks around agreed specifications, critical characteristics and documentation needs.
Process conversion review
Evaluate suitable repeat sand castings for possible conversion to gravity die casting and dedicated tooling.
Production supply
Move approved components into scheduled batch manufacture, inspection, packing and dispatch.
Project workflow
A practical route from RFQ to repeat supply
Stage gates keep technical and commercial decisions aligned as the component moves toward production.

Value engineering
Sand casting to gravity die casting review
For suitable repeat parts, dedicated gravity-die tooling may offer better repeatability, surface condition, production rate or reduced downstream work. Any benefit depends on the actual component and annual demand.

Quality planning
Inspection begins with an agreed technical definition
Before production, the drawing, material, critical dimensions, functional expectations and required documentation should be clear. The inspection scope can then be matched to the component and application.
- Controlled drawing and revision
- Specified alloy and material requirements
- Critical dimensions and datums
- Visual and surface expectations
- Machining and interface checks
- Agreed reports or documentation

Frequently asked questions
Casting service FAQs
Useful starting points for sourcing, engineering and vendor-development teams.
What aluminium gravity die casting services do you provide?
Services include component and feasibility review, die design and development, gravity die casting, insert casting, specified machining, inspection support and repeat production supply.
Can you develop tooling for a new component?
Tool development can be considered after reviewing the approved drawing, alloy, annual quantity, critical features, machining scope and commercial requirements.
Can a sand casting be converted to gravity die casting?
Suitable repeat components can be reviewed for possible conversion. Feasibility depends on geometry, alloy, volume, quality targets, tooling investment and validation needs.
What information is required for project review?
Provide the drawing and available 3D model or sample, alloy, annual and batch quantities, critical dimensions, machining, inserts, finishes, inspection needs and delivery location.
