Cast Tooling For Production and Prototype Requirements

Different Types of Cast tooling

  • PCMI produces cast tooling using P-20 or, H-13 die steels as required
  • Our in-house tooling capabilities reduce project lead-times to weeks, not months
  • We control the quality of each tool and optimize the cast tooling whether prototype or production tool builds
  • We manage and ensure each prototype and production cast tool is verified before shipping parts
  • In some cases we use cast modeling software to optimize part cast ability and reduce tooling defects
  • Using PCMI die cast holders for building prototype "Soft" tooling lowers your cost
  • We are on average, are about 15% to 20% below our competitors

Sand Cast / Investment Cast / Forge

sand casting

  • Our ability to produce sand cast, investment cast or forge tooling ensures quick turn around on projects. Quality control over each cast tooling
  • Producing short run, cost effective patterns / forge tools or investment tools for low/mid volume cast production work
  • Building sand cast patterns to pour 1,000 lb castings
  • Cast tooling for ferrous and non-ferrous metal processes
  • Full CAD hardware to support UG, Pro E, Citia, STP file format
