Foundry Background
Prototype Development

Proto Type Process Flow

From master sample to validated casting — flexibility & quick turnaround.

A structured 8-step process covering 3D scanning, CAD, die design, simulation, casting trials, and full validation.

END-TO-END PROCESS

Proto Type Process Flow

Master Sample Received
01

Master Sample Received

Customer master sample received, inspected, and benchmarked as the reference for all subsequent development.

3D Scan Data
02

3D Scan Data

High-accuracy 3D scanning of the master sample captures precise geometry and surface topology.

CAD Model Development
03

CAD Model Development

Clean, feature-rich CAD model developed from scan data, ready for DFM analysis and tooling.

Proto Die Design
04

Proto Die Design

Prototype die layout designed with full DFM considerations, parting lines, and runner systems optimised.

Pattern & Mold Development
05

Pattern & Mold Development

CNC-machined patterns and molds produced to exacting tolerances for prototype casting trials.

Proto Casting Trials
06

Proto Casting Trials

First-off casting trials conducted, process parameters dialled in, and initial parts produced.

Proto Die Validations
