Engineering the future as pre-eminent specialists in complex metal shape casting.

Engineering Innovation

Producing aluminium castings that perform as intended requires both deep technical expertise and a forward-thinking approach. We apply Design For Manufacture (DFM) principles from the very start of your project, ensuring defects are minimised and the manufacturing process is repeatable at scale.

 

We combine industry knowledge with advanced computer-based technologies to deliver castings that are cost-effective, reliable and ready for production speed. Our expertise in aluminium alloy material science allows us to develop unique alloys for “make-like-production” scenarios, producing prototype aluminium castings that behave like production parts.

 

We drive innovation through collaboration with other industry experts, academics and like-minded customers. This collaborative approach ensures casting engineering remains forward-looking, continuously evolving and capable of meeting highly complex production requirements.

What We Do
Casting Simulation

Over many years, we’ve curated and validated extensive heat transfer and aluminium material property data, feeding this directly into our computational modelling. This data-driven foundation is a key differentiator, enabling us to predict your casting performance with confidence before production begins.

 

We combine this approach with advanced casting simulation software, plus decades of aluminium casting expertise, to deliver castings that meet your production intent the first time. This ensures faster programme launches, reduced technical risk and confidence that even the most complex geometries can be realised.

 

Predictive simulation integrated with decades of casting engineering expertise allows us to deliver production-ready castings efficiently, consistently and with high certainty, redefining how complex aluminium castings are developed.

Tooling Design

We manage tooling design and manufacture entirely in-house. Our sizeable, fully integrated facility allows rapid, seamless and confidential tooling production, supporting complex geometries and fast-moving projects.

 

We apply our expertise at pace to deliver tooling solutions that enable first-time-right aluminium castings. Our tooling capabilities include:

  • Rapid in-house tooling design and manufacture
  • Confidential production for sensitive projects
  • Support for complex geometries and fast-moving production schedules
Engineering Leadership

Our engineers embed with your team and provide technical leadership to guide your projects from concept to production. They bring integrated expertise across:

  • Casting simulation
  • Tooling design and manufacture
  • Project management
  • Aluminium alloy science

Successful projects often start with early collaboration. When you engage with us at the earliest opportunity, we solve challenges others can’t, while aligning manufacturing processes with your objectives, performance requirements, scope of supply and lead times. This hands-on, integrated approach ensures results are delivered efficiently, at pace and with confidence.

Project Engineering

Project engineering ensures your projects are delivered efficiently, reliably and to specification. Our teams bring specialist expertise across multiple sectors:

  • Automotive
  • Motorsport
  • Aerospace
  • Defence (UK and US platforms only)
  • Power Generation
  • Marine
  • Infrastructure
  • Commercial Vehicles

Each sector requires tailored controls, specifications and experience. We combine technical expertise with structured project management to ensure your projects meet your performance and delivery objectives at pace.

Casting Product Validation

We know that pace is critical in fast-moving markets. That’s why we verify products comprehensively using:

  • Five digital X-ray systems, including three Computed Tomography (CT units), for forensic Non-Destructive Testing
  • Optical and tactile scanning systems
  • Fully equipped metallurgical laboratory
  • Dedicated sand laboratory
  • In-house independent materials testing facility (Element)

These resources are applied to support a disciplined Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, ensuring data-driven insights guide production and performance and providing confidence in every casting.
