Questions and answers

Process and technology

What aluminum casting methods do you use (sand, pressure, die)?

We use sand casting, pressure die casting, and permanent mold casting. The choice of technology depends on the customer's requirements – batch size, casting size, dimensional tolerances, and surface smoothness. 

Pressure casting: up to 3 kg, maximum dimensions 300 × 300 × 300 mm.
Sand casting: up to 10 kg, dimensions determined individually depending on the project.
Die castings: up to 2 kg, dimensions determined individually.

We work with certified aluminum alloys compliant with PN and EN standards. The most common types used include:

  • EN AC-46000 / DIN 226 / AlSi9Cu3
  • EN AC-46100 / AlSi11Cu2(Fe)
  • EN AC-47100 / AK11 / AlSi11
  • EN AC-44300 / DIN 230 / AlSi12(Fe)
  • EN AC-44200 / AlSi12(a)

Yes. We offer full machining of castings, including milling, drilling, turning, and threading.

Yes. We offer vibratory finishing, sandblasting, shot blastingand tumbling. If you are not sure which finishing method will be best for your castings – we will advise you.

Yes. In cooperation weoffer:

  • Powder coating in various colors and textures
  • Cataphoresis (e-coating) 

We do not offer anodizing of aluminium alloy castings.  

Yes. In cooperation, we perform heat treatment of castings. 

In our foundry we use a 3-stage quality control system::

  • during casting,
  • after machining,
  • before shipment to the client.

 

We use precision measuring equipment – micrometers, gauges, bore gauges and a 3D scanner. We also regularly carry out preventive mold measurements in accordance with ISO procedures and internal standards.

Upon client request, we prepare complete measurement documentation.
In the event of a complaint, our response time is a maximum of 48 hoursand direct contact with decision-makers allows for rapid action.

Design and preparation

Yes. We cooperate with the Łukasiewicz – Krakow Institute of Technology (KIT)which allows us to combine industrial experience with scientific and research resources. As a result:

  • we support clients in designing new castings,
  • we optimize existing designs in terms of casting technology,
  • we advise on the selection of the appropriate alloy and machining process.

This approach makes it possible to reduce production costs, increase the durability of components and achieve better functional parameters of castings.

Yes. We utilize 3D scanningtechnology, which allows us to replicate existing elements with high precision. Based on this, we can:

  • prepare full technical documentation,
  • create a CAD model,
  • design and reproduce a casting mold.

Thanks to this, we are able to recreate parts for which no documentation exists, as well as optimize their design prior to mass production.

To prepare an offer, it is best to provide:

  • 2D or 3D technical drawing with dimensions, tolerances and quality requirements,
  • w przypadku braku modelu 3D prosimy o podanie wagi surowego odlewu,
  • information about the planned series size,
  • Material requirements (aluminum alloy) – if you don't know which alloy will be suitable for your casting, we will advise you on the expected type of treatment (mechanical, thermal, surface). regarding the material (aluminum alloy) - if you don't know which alloy will be suitable for your casting, we will advise you,
  • expected type of treatment (mechanical, thermal, surface).

If the customer does not have documentation, we can prepare it ourselves based on the provided part template or 3D scan.

Yes. We currently work with proven toolmakers who prepare models and casting molds for us in accordance with customer documentation.

Additionally, as part of the development of the foundry, we plan to launch our own tool shop, which will allow us to fulfill orders even faster and more comprehensively.

Orders and logistics

The minimum order quantity is determined individually – depending on the type of casting, the selected technology and the complexity of the project.


We produce both single prototypesand larger production series..

The execution time depends on the type of order:

  • Existing orders (repeat production):
    Lead time is usually 3-4 weeks from the moment the order is placed.
  • New implementations (initial production, prototypes, new molds):
    Due to the need for preparing documentation, molds, and testing – lead time is usually 5-14 weeks.

We discuss every project individually to tailor the schedule to the client's needs.

Yes – we produce prototypes, small batchesand large production series.

  • Prototypes – we create these for testing and design optimization before launching serial production.
  • Small batches - these can be fulfilled regularlyas ongoing production orders.
  • Large series – we also serve clients requiring high repeatability and large delivery volumes.

This allows us to flexibly adapt to the needs of both smaller companies and large manufacturing enterprises.

Yes. We regularly deliver castings to clients within Europe and beyond.
Our castings are shipped to countries including:

  • United Kingdom,
  • USA,
  • Germany,
  • Hungary,
  • Czech Republic,
  • France,
  • Denmark,
  • Lithuania,
  • Netherlands.

 

We have extensive experience in exporting, including document preparation and packaging in accordance with international transport requirements.

Costs and Pricing

The price of a casting depends on several key factors:

  • type of technology (sand casting, die casting, permanent mold casting),
  • weight of the casting,
  • choice of aluminum alloy,
  • complexity of the casting (shape, wall thickness, tolerances),
  • production series size – the larger the series, the lower the unit cost,
  • additional processes – machining, heat treatment, powder coating, specialized packaging.

     

We prepare every quote individually to ensure it is tailored to the needs and specifics of a given project.

Yes. We quote the cost of making the casting mold separately from the price of the castings themselves.

This provides the client with full transparency – they know the one-time cost of tooling preparation and the subsequent unit price for the castings in mass production.

Standards and Certificates

Our castings are manufactured in accordance with applicable aluminum casting standards and specific industry requirements provided by our clients.

We use certified alloys and conduct quality control according to ISO 9001 system procedures.

Yes. We have an implemented and maintained ISO 9001 quality management system.

Yes. In our production process, we use exclusively tested and certified raw materials. Each batch of aluminum comes with quality certificates confirming its chemical composition and compliance with standards.

This ensures our clients that the castings meet technical and quality requirements from the very beginning of the process.

Cooperation

Yes. We invite clients to visit our facilities and learn about the casting production process.

For safety reasons, visits must be scheduled in advance – this allows us to ensure appropriate conditions and provide a guided tour of the foundry.
