Mass Casting & Near-Net-Shape Tooling

Our mass casting service is designed with you in mind. An alternative to traditional modelling and tooling board materials and CNC machining, mass casting creates a single-piece, near-net-shape (NNS) tool with no visible bond or witness lines.

Working with you, we can create simple or complex near-net-shape tooling, at our facility in Leicester, UK, ensuring your tool is as close to the final shape and size as possible. This reduces the amount of post-production machining and finishing required, saving you time and resources and resulting in less waste material.

Using your CAD drawings and designs, first we create a bespoke negative mould for your tool using one of our industry-leading, low-density polyurethane materials. We then select the system for casting based on your application and requirements and use the negative mould to cast your near-net-shape tool.

We have a range of materials available for mass casting applications and near-net-shape tooling, with densities ranging from 600 kg/m3  to 1,700 kg/m3.
