One-of-a-kind performance in casting prototypes
Prototype aluminum casting for engineering excellence
If issues like weak spots, bubbles and incomplete parts are delaying production, it’s time for a casting supplier with the sophisticated prototyping tools and capabilities to produce higher-performance parts—without costly misruns.
Casting prototype services for superior components
From the earliest designs and models, WAF leverages precision prototyping technology, techniques and decades of engineering expertise to test and solve for some of the toughest casting challenges across industries. We use the latest printed sand mold technology to produce:
- Urethane patterns and core boxes
- 3D printed molds and cores for air set and green sand casting
The result: A commitment to quality that begins long before a single aluminum part is produced.
Prototype Design
From 3D modeling and printing to flow simulation, prototype sampling and tooling, WAF leverages the speed and agility of modern tech to fully visualize your parts before production. This helps identify issues like porosity and weakness sooner, for a more streamlined program from design to delivery.
Sand Core Casting Prototypes
When your project calls for both high quality and faster turnaround on parts with intricate passages and chambers, WAF has the expertise to produce 3D printed sand cores in house. That means higher design flexibility, customization and cost savings for you.
Casting Prototypes for Complex Parts
When you need prototyping for large, high-complexity components, we’re one of few casting suppliers with the sophistication to handle the challenge. Our air set casting process supports virtually any size and complexity—from engine blocks to military vehicle equipment to large structural components like beams and columns.
