Metalcasting Services
At The Eagle Group, our metalcasting services start right at the beginning. Our engineering teams routinely work with customers early in the design stages on larger, long-term projects, providing our expert machining and casting advice to ensure parts are designed for manufacturability (DFM). The outcome is a part that performs to the standards our customers require and is produced as cost effectively as possible. It is true value engineering (VE).

Determining Your Needs
Not sure which casting method is right for your project? Before you start shopping for metalcasting services, here are some key questions you should ask yourself:
1) What material is the part to be made of?
2) What are the projected order quantities and annual quantities?
3) What is the desired surface finish?
4) What tolerance range is necessary?
5) Is there significant machining required to the finished part?
6) Initial tooling costs differ greatly from one casting process to another. Which is more important to the project: tooling price or casting price?
Knowing the answers to these questions will help guide you toward the optimum casting method and help you avoid over-spending.
