Aluminium casting techniques at Norse Precision Castings can achieve tolerances of 0.4mm and wall thickness of 3mm, and sizes approaching one metre cube
Both materials have excellent fluidity at casting which allows irregular shapes and thin walls.
Also strengthening ribs can be added easily in recognised areas of stress, giving the designer the luxury of a low weight structure with material only where it is needed.
Techniques at Norse Precision Castings achieve tolerances of +0.4mm and wall thickness of as low as 3mm, on cast aluminium, producing parts requiring little or no secondary operations.
Further the benefits include the advantage of low cost tooling made quickly.
Specialising in complex shapes, the key lies in the pattern making and the ability to produce near net shape casting, for prototype and short run production.
Quality control also benefits from having all post-casting manufacturing, including straightening, heat treating, CNC machining, finishing, and assembly, under the one roof.
