    Engineering and R&D services

    We help you turn ideas and drawings into casting-ready designs, solve problems early, and move confidently into production.

    CAD modelling

    Develop casting-ready CAD models from your concepts, scans, drawings, or existing parts.

    Design optimization

    Refine concepts, or existing components to improve manufacturability, reduce cost, and eliminate risk before tooling.

    Simulation & analysis

    Use FEA and CFD simulations to predict deformations, stresses, and defects, optimizing strength, weight, and durability before production.

    Material and process selection

    Match alloys and processes to application requirements, compliance standards, and performance needs.

    Engineering reviews

    Evaluate new or legacy parts to identify risks, compliance issues, or opportunities for improvement.

    Cut risk and cost with casting-ready designs

    Redesigns after tooling waste time and money. By involving our engineers early, you ensure designs are production-ready and problems are solved before they reach the foundry floor.

    • Validate designs upfront to avoid costly tooling rework.
    • Optimize for foundry processes to shorten lead times.
    • Reduce scrap and material waste with geometry built for casting.
    • Align alloys and specs with compliance to avoid audit failures.
    • Move smoothly from prototype to production without disruption.
