CASTING
£POA.-
Why use Casting?
- Produce complex shapes that would be expensive if machined from billet
- Reverse Engineering of existing Cast component
- Generate components that have multiple voids for fluid or air flow
- Create sculptures for displays or decoration
What have we used this on previously?
- Gearbox Casings
- Cylinder Heads
- Cam Covers
- Induction components
- Race Car hub and uprights
What do we include in the cost?
- Onsite visit to scan component if required
- Component Design and Analysis if required
- CAD creation for build
- Mold and Core design
- Final Molds
- Cast components
- Post process assembly and testing
- Material testing samples and reports if required
How long does it take?
- Scanning and generation of a CAD file is usually completed under two weeks depending on scanner
availability.
- Design and creation of molds usually takes around four weeks to complete
- A test casting without machining can take between one and two weeks to produce
MACHINING
From £POA.-
Why use Machining?
- Finish surface machining of a cast component
- Modification of existing component
- Final surface finishing of a new component from billet
- Production of molds for Composite or Casting projects
- Generating bucks for bodywork
- Creating sculptures out of high density foam
What have we used this on previously?
- LMP, F1, F2 and Time Attack car bodywork manufacture
- Gearbox Casings, Cylinder Heads and Cam Covers
- Induction components for creation of new castings and molds
- Kit Car Chassis and transmission components
- RoPs (Roll Cage) components
- Brackets
What do we include in the cost?
- Onsite visit to scan component if required
- Component Design and Analysis if required
- CAD creation for build
- Technical Drawing Files
- Final machined components
How long does it take?
- Depending on component complexity and design, machining can be undertaken within a week
