We offer the
complete package to produce your casting.
Air-set sand pattern equipment
3D models are generally the norm nowadays, from this we take the casting model and finalise the end product, from here we use Resin model boards for stability & accuracy. CNC machines then cut the form the produce the interior and exterior shapes and finally the pattern equipment is framed to produce the desired pattern equipment. Different grades of model board are used dependant on the qty’s each pattern is required to produce. Model board patterns not only give stability and a long life expectancy but also an improved surface finish.
Gravity die tooling
Manufactured from cast iron or hardened steel, again 3D models give our toolmakers the initial outline, from there master patterns are produced to obtain iron/castings.
The hard tooling is then cut from the castings, moving parts operate via manual operation and hydraulic/tilting. Tight tolerances up to 0.25mm are achieved from this method and long life expectancy of 10’s 1000’s of parts. Generations of experience in methods is vital to the tooling design.

Quality
Quality is
at the forefront
of customer requirements, this is why DAC have made it our mission to strive for excellence in this field.
ISO 9001
Continual internal audits along with ISO 9001 audits ensure all of our quality procedures are monitored to the highest standard always looking for improvement.
Method sheets
Method sheets are introduced at the beginning of the casting process to ensure continuity in the casting run, along with periodic visual checks as the casting passes through each stage in the foundry.
Fully Documented
Material batches are documented for each casting run, allowing ease of traceability.
