Case: Cover for measuring device – cast in aluminum
In this case, our customer chose to use sand casting to cast their aluminum cover for their measuring device. The customer tried sandcasting twice, but was dissatisfied with both the quality and the cosmetic look. After our customer had spent 3 years on sand casting, they approached us for casting advice for their case.
Based on their specifications, we helped the customer to find the optimal casting method; low-pressure casting. This case is a good example of how important it is to find the most suitable casting method before starting production.
