ENGINEERING

The Cast Products, Inc.'s engineering group is the best resource for the development of your next project. Whether you have a new or existing zinc casting, a material conversion, or a multi-piece assembly, our award winning design team can offer you the technical and creative design expertise to make your project a success.

The best way for an American manufacturer to compete in the global market is through a combination of innovative designs and superior quality tooling. The seamless transition between our engineering group and our in-house tooling department results in a level of quality which is unmatched in the industry. CAE capabilities are built on a platform utilizing SolidWorks solid modeling software, allowing us to accept any form of 2D & 3D data. After analyzing your information, a member of our engineering team will contact you to thoroughly discuss your needs and possibly offer cost savings ideas. Once your mold is designed, a MAGMA Casting Process Simulation can be run to verify the runner, gate, venting and cooling line placement. When all concerned parties have signed off on the final mold design, the tooling information will transfer to our state-of-the-art toolroom.

Certified mold-makers, with an average of 25 years of experience, begin the process of writing CAM programs for cutter paths. This data is transferred to our high-speed CNC department where the final design begins to take shape. Premium tool steel, which meets our stringent requirements, is cut to +.005 inch and sent out to a certified source for heat-treatment. Upon its return, the hardened blocks are re-squared and hard-cut in the CNC to final specification.

When the mold leaves our toolroom, it carries with it our dedication to innovation, quality, precision and a million-shot guarantee to give you the peace of mind that it will perform day in and day out.
