FOUNDRY ENGINEERING:

Layout Room equipped with 12' Rohmer Infinite 3.0 Portable Arm for dimensional verification.

Our foundry Engineers develop the appropriate feeding requirements for castings and establish the molding processes. We use SOLIDCast software to simulate the solidification process castings undergo as they cool in a mold. This helps identify casting defects prior to production, resulting in:

• Higher probability of first article approval.

• Faster resolution of production problems.

• Better yield.

• Reduced lead times.

• Lower scrap rates.

• Better quality.
