History

Prototype Casting was founded in 1995 in a small 2000 sqft shop just north of Denver,Colorado by Mike Kaiser and Kevin Fortin. Protocast Inc., was founded on speed and 3D printing technology. The tooling process that was used to create molds started with SLA’s, urethane and silicon tooling was created from the 3D pattern. These tools were used to create plaster molds. Metal was then poured into the plaster mold to create the casting. In 1998 Prototype Casting moved to a larger shop in Northglenn CO. Prototype Casting continued to grow and in 2000 moved to part of its current location in Denver. Mike Kaiser retired in 2011 and sold the business to longtime employee Chad TeBeest. Currently Prototype Casting occupies a total of 24,000 sqft.
