Die Casting’s Blog

A decorative plaque, a copy of an iron casting, approx imately 500mm by 350mm has been sand cast in aluminium by Norse Precision Castings of Bedford, demonstrating an ability to accurately reproduce very intricate detail. Specialising in complex shapes, in both aluminium and solid polyurethane, the key lies in the pattern making and the ability to produce near net shape finished components.

Sand casting lends itself to economic low volume production, even one-offs.

Working from originals, drawings or CAD files, castings up to one metre diameter are well within the production range of Norse Precision Castings and some specials have been produced two metres diameter.

Engineers at Norse Precision Castings are always available for technical and applications advise on all aspects of prototype and short production runs of aluminium castings.
