Fort Vale Castings Ltd specialize in This is a precision manufacturing process that enables us to produce your components to high tolerances and good surface finishes. Investment casting can also reduce the number of machining operations needed to produce components, compared with sand casting and fabrications, which can save you time and money.

lost wax investment casting.

Fort Vale Castings Ltd offer a rapid prototyping service.

Fort Vale Castings Ltd is a One-Stop-Shop.

This means that we can produce a 3-D model of your component in ABS plastic. The model may then be shelled, burnt out and cast in as little as 7 working days. This process considerably reduces lead times for prototype components when compared to waiting for tooling samples for complex parts, or machining from solid for less complex components. Our rapid prototyping service affords you flexibility of design and minimum wastage of material, energy and subsequent machining and finishing services, again saving you time and money.

Our engineers are highly qualified and have a wealth of experience and expertise. We use Magmasoft® casting simulation software to improve yield and reduce defects. Fort Vale has an in-house machining and surface finishing service and can offer non-destructive testing facilities.

We work predominantly in stainless steel and can also work with other materials such as carbon steel, phosphor bronze, aluminium bronze as well as high performance alloys, e.g. Hastelloy®, Inconel®, Monel®. Please contact us if your enquiry uses a different material.
