Metals: Sand Castings

Our Sand-Casting Foundry partners produces metal parts by sand casting. Castings range from ounces to 2000 lbs. Casting production runs from a single part up to 1000’s is standard. Additional finishing capabilities include abrading, cutting, drilling, forming, grinding, and machining.

The Sand-Casting process involves heating up the alloy in a furnace, ladling and pouring it into the cavity of a sand mold, which is formed from a pattern. The sand mold separates along the parting line, and the solidified casting part can be removed. The expandability of the sand molding process means it can be used with almost any alloy.
