Services

Right at the start of a project, Powercast provides engineering support and casting design services. Our experienced personnel assists customers in creating new castings, either from a simple idea or sketch, a part produced by another process (a weldment, an assembly, a sheet metal product, etc.), or an existing casting produced by another foundry process (for example, switching a sand casting into a permanent mold casting). Such activities can be made easier with the use of the CAD software SolidWorks.

Our Tool-Making department is fully equipped to handle all aspects of mold making, namely Engineering Support, Technical Design, Tooling Development, CNC Machining, and Maintenance. Our Foundry department employs qualified personnel with many years of casting experience, while our Finishing department efficiently handles all post-foundry operations.Testing capabilities include Hardness, Tensile Strength, Elongation, Dimensional Checks, X-Ray and Chemical Analysis. The company also provides PPAP’s.
