Perfect Prototypes

Prototyping has Moved On

Sarginsons can now cast prototype castings with the same mechanical characteristics as production parts, despite being made using a different process. This is a huge step forward in casting technology. And one which will lead to a dramatic reduction in the costs and stress of new product launches, whilst empowering more challenging component design. 

Other Factors at Work

Creating digital twin simulations of the casting is a vital first step but, just as importantly, is the work Sarginsons has done in areas such as Smart Cooling, Intelligent Tooling, metallurgy, grain refinement and low pressure sand casting. These new techniques give Sarginsons an unrivalled ability to cast prototypes which exactly replicate the production part - which is what a prototype should be.

Not Just Prototypes

Being able to create a perfect sand cast prototype opens the door to  short run component casting, without the need for expensive tooling. In an age of product customisation the ability to produce performance components economically offers endless potential. And one which will increase as 3D sand cores and moulds open the door to Freeform Casting.
