Custom Casting Engineering Solutions

Creating casting prototypes can be costly and time-consuming, with little room for error when selecting the right material, molding, core and development process. At Pentz Cast Solutions, we design and engineer precision ITAR-registered sand casting tooling and permanent mold tooling for low and high-volume casting production. We work directly with customers in order to engineer and build CNC machined components based on your exact specifications. We utilize highly engineered hybrid solutions to casting tooling to create intricate complex geometry in large proto and or production castings is what we do every day. Our expert engineers collaborate with customers on projects to simplify the complex casting developmental process.

Designing in Cast Aluminum

Pentz has the machining and fabricating capabilities to design castings from cast aluminum materials. Aluminum parts are versatile and can be made at significantly lower costs than more traditional metals. All Aluminum Alloy Metals at Pentz are then rotary degassed and flux injected to ensure extremely low oxides and hydrogen porosity in all molten metal.

Custom Job Flow Diagram

The right casting process for your project is based on the size, complexity, alloy, physical properties required, quantities required / anticipated, schedule, and if the casting design is fixed or still developing. Pentz Cast Solution engineers will guide you through each phase of your project in alignment with our job flow diagram. Our Dual Path and Triple path processes allow us to hog out aluminum prototypes and casting simultaneously for high volume, low cost production.

Prototype Part Manufacturing

We identify the best process to build your parts and explore all options in engineering, CAD, prototyping, production casting tooling, production, CNC machined parts and complete manufacturing. We can incorporate geometries, complex intricate coring, conversions from CNC machined billet and weld fabricated assembly into one casting to reduce costs.
