Castinite Polymer Composites: A Precision Casting Solution Designed for You
At Precision Polymer Casting, we understand that each project is unque. That’s why we custom design and engineer a solution for your needs. Unlike traditional metals, our CASTINITE™ epoxy/quartz composites can be precision cast to size, eliminating the need for secondary machining. Experience precision casting designed for you.
MACHINE CASTING PROJECTS
THE IMPOSSIBLE 270° INTERNAL DRUM
Successfully casting a part that has an 18-inch diameter, extends 270 degrees, and features 45 vacuum grooves-all to a precision of .001 inches TIR and a length of 68 inches-is a remarkable achievement. Defying the odds, we’ve managed to produce a part with a 270-degree core, cast to .001 inches TIR, equipped with 45 vacuum grooves, each with a 1.0mm diameter outlet.
ONE PIECE
CMM CASTING
A single-piece casting for a compact CMM, made in a refined grey color, integrates a steel plate directly into the casting itself. The top rails are precision-cast to achieve a flatness of .001 inches.
