Applications

Below you will find a list of our most common applications for unicast precision molding ceramics.  Click on any name to follow a link to more detailed and specific information.

Core Making

In the pump and valve industry, internal precision and surface finish reign supreme.  Only unicast can provide the internal precision and finishes that are in demand by designers while still allowing for easy removal of the core after casting.  When combined with the economy of sand processes for less important external surfaces, unicast molded impeller castings come in first for combination of quality and cost.

Cast-to-Size Tooling

 

Looking to expand your horizons?  Have you looked into cast-to-size tooling? unicast is helping many foundries recapture lost work by expanding into previously untapped markets.  Cast-to-size tooling eliminates the majority of machining that is ordinarily required in making dies and molds.  This cuts down on delivery times and overall costs of production.  In addition, many companies have found cast tooling to outlast machined tooling.  Look to unicast to expand your capabilities and broaden your customer base by casting injection molds, rubber dies, permanent mold cavities, rotational molds, die-cast dies, and more!

Precision Casting

The unicast ceramic molding process offers precision casting at minimal cost. For use in any foundry, the process allows low cost production of precision castings for aerospace, marine, industrial, and many emerging markets. If you want to diversify or get into Rapid Prototyping, unicast is the way to go. 

 

Rapid Prototyping
 

Success of a new product is made up of many factors. One of the most important is how fast that product can get to market. The first to market, frequently wins.  unicast’s ceramic molding process is making the difference in many foundries that support time critical industries such as the automotive and aerospace industries. With the unicast process, it is possible to deliver cast-to-size parts with exceptional surface finish and tolerances in record times.

 

Art Foundry Applications
 

Some time ago, we realized the importance and growth of the art casting market and set out to refine materials and methods specifically geared towards the production of precision molds for the casting of sculpture.  The results have been outstanding.  Explore how unicast has developed products that can now be found in an ever growing list of foundries that have taken on the process.  Also, get the story on our now famous foundryman bust!  Click here to learn more.
