From Pattern To Poured
Casting
Pattern Making
- A reusable pattern of your part is built in wood, metal or 3D print - sized with allowances for shrinkage and machining, so every mould comes out accurate.
Mould Preparation
The pattern is packed in special moulding sand inside a two-part flask (cope and drag), forming a precise cavity once the pattern is removed.
Core Setting
Pre-made sand cores are placed into the mould to form internal cavities and hollow sections - essential for housings, pipes and complex bodies.
Metal Pouring
Molten iron, steel or aluminium is poured through the gating system, filling the mould cavity completely under controlled temperature.
Cooling & Solidification
The metal cools and solidifies inside the sand mould, forming the casting with the right grain structure and strength.
Shakeout & Finishing
The sand is broken away, the casting is removed, gates are cut off, then it's fettled, shot-blasted and inspected before dispatch.
Why Engineers Choose
Sand Casting?
Any Size, Any Volume
From parts weighing a few grams to large, heavy castings - and from single prototypes to full production runs - sand casting scales like no other process.
Low Tooling Cost
Inexpensive patterns and moulds mean low upfront cost, making it the most economical route for large parts, low volumes and new designs.
