Facilities that support melting and casting of metals; including simulation, molding, pattern making, melting, and analysis capabilities for alloy development and prototyping. Induction melting uses a ...

You can melt down almost any kind of aluminum—cans, even—but a piece that has already been cast (such as a water pump, wheel, or intake manifold) will have an alloy that's better suited for casting.

Casting metal parts from 3D-printed plastic or Styrofoam models is all the rage these days, and for good reason — casting is a way to turn one-offs into mass-produced parts. Seems like most of the ...

Gravity casting aluminum in permanent molds beats conventional sand and pressure die casting. Today, gravity-fed permanent metal molds can produce near-net-shape parts from a variety of aluminum ...
