Tooling Options

The tools required for investment casting are typically less expensive than for other casting methods. Using aluminum materials (steel, if wear-resistant components are required) reduces the tooling cost of your standard design.

We also specialize in transfer tooling, whether foreign or domestic. Our team at Milwaukee Precision Casting has had great success with very few modifications needed.

Why transfer tooling?
Cost reduction: Transferring tooling to a facility with lower operational costs can reduce production expenses.

Supply chain security: Transferring tooling can help secure the supply chain.

Quality improvement: Transferring tooling can help improve the quality of the product.

Business model change: Transferring tooling can help accommodate a change in business model.

Manual Tooling

For short runs where up-front tooling cost is a major concern, less expensive, manual hand-operated tooling can be constructed.

Automatic Tooling

Where high volume usage is anticipated and casting cost is critical, we have the capabilities of utilizing fully automatic, multi-cavity tooling for maximum productivity. Proto-type tooling for design development also available. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff stands ready to assist you. Please contact us to discuss your tooling options in greater detail.
