Casting & forging

Casting and Forging

Explore a production route for repeatable metal parts. Define tooling, machining stock and final inspection together.

Casting and Forging Scope

Casting and forging projects are manually reviewed because tooling, parting lines, machining stock, and inspection requirements drive cost and lead time.

Process Feasibility

Review of casting, forging, or machined-from-billet alternatives based on geometry, quantity, and tolerance.

Machining Allowance

Critical faces, holes, datums, and post-process machining assumptions are flagged before quotation.

Inspection Planning

Dimensional reports, material certificates, surface requirements, and packaging notes can be included.

What to Upload

Casting and forging requests need clear production assumptions to avoid quoting the wrong process.

2D Drawing

Required for tolerance, datum, material, heat treatment, inspection, and surface requirements.

3D Model

STEP or IGES files help review machining stock, draft, radii, and process feasibility.

Quantity and Lifecycle

Prototype, pilot, and production quantities affect tooling decisions and unit economics.
