The casting is performed into prepared molds, which are produced using various molding processes.

The casting processes and capacities:

Hand-molding in the furan resin process up to 6,000 kg
Machine-molding in the furan resin process up to 150 kg
Ceramic casting process up to 600 kg
Additive molding processes up to 6,000 kg

Batch sizes range from individual pieces / prototypes to small-scale series.

Vertical integration

Machining

The rough and finish machining of the castings takes place on CNC machining centers. High production quality and reliability are achieved through CAD-controlled process sequences.
