Patterns

We can make metal, plastic, or wood patterns from existing parts, traditional blueprints, or CAD files.

Castings

We use traditional molding techniques combined with state-of-the-art technology to produce superior castings. Casting weights can be from 1 oz. in Aluminum to 500 lbs. in Brass, from ¼" to 14 feet in length, with a 3,000 lb. capacity per day in Bronze.
