- Fully integrated with foundry and engineering
- Custom fixturing for tight tolerances
Machining Designed for Castings
Machining cast aluminum components presents unique challenges that differ significantly from machining billet or plate material. Draft angles, parting lines, variable stock conditions, and complex geometries require specialized fixturing, tool paths, and machining strategies. Our team has extensive experience developing processes specifically for aluminum castings, allowing us to maximize dimensional consistency while maintaining efficient production throughout.
Faster Response, Fewer Handoffs
Unlike manufacturers that rely on multiple suppliers to complete a component, Cast Products integrates casting, machining, quality, and engineering operations within a single facility. Engineering changes, process improvements, and production adjustments can be implemented quickly without the delays and communication challenges often associated with outsourced machining. Customers benefit from streamlined project management, greater accountability, and a simpler path from casting to finished component.
Integrated with Engineering & Tooling
Successful machining begins long before the first production part enters a machine. Our engineers, tooling specialists, and machinists collaborate throughout product development to establish datum structures, fixture concepts, and machining strategies that support repeatable manufacturing. This integrated approach helps identify potential challenges early, reduces launch risk, and creates a smoother transition from development to production.
Precision Through Process Control
Consistent results require more than capable equipment. We utilize dedicated fixturing, documented machining processes, inspection verification, and ongoing process monitoring to maintain dimensional accuracy throughout production. By focusing on repeatability and process discipline, we help ensure components consistently meet customer specifications and quality requirements.
Built for Production Performance
Our machining operations are designed to support both complex, high-mix manufacturing and scalable production programs. Combined with our foundry, finishing, and quality capabilities, we provide customers with a manufacturing solution focused on consistency, responsiveness, and long-term program success. Whether supporting a new product launch or an established production program, our team is committed to delivering reliable results that customers can depend on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. CNC machining operations are fully integrated with the foundry and engineering teams, allowing Cast Products to maintain greater control over quality, lead times, and production performance.
Cast Products performs a wide range of machining operations, including milling, drilling, tapping, and boring, on aluminum castings.
Custom fixturing and optimized machining strategies are used to manage the draft angles, parting lines, and variable stock conditions that are unique to cast components, achieving tight tolerances.
Because casting, machining, quality, and engineering operate within a single facility, engineering changes move faster and there are no handoffs between separate suppliers, which streamlines project management.
Yes. Machining services are set up to support complex, high mix manufacturing as well as scalable, higher volume production programs.
