Rapid Prototype Casting - Low-volume Production - Plastics Tooling Rapid Prototype Casting
APC uses the plaster and sand mold process to produce prototype castings in aluminum, magnesium and zinc.
Our prototype castings offer you an economical way to prove your designs before you invest in more expensive, permanent tooling. We like to think of it as design insurance - our prototypes help ensure your design is optimized to avoid costly complications.
With our prototypes, you can:
Low-volume Production
With low-volume production you can have from one to several thousand die-cast quality parts without the high tooling costs and long lead-times associated with die castings, permanent molds and investment casting tooling.
Precision castings produced by American Precision Castings (APC) provide an economical way to produce precision short run castings made from aluminum, magnesium, zinc, bronze or brass. The process obtains a die cast “fit and finish” for high cosmetic applications and allows for design changes quickly and economically.
The APC process features lead time, low tooling costs, precision and repeatability. There are virtually no limitations to part sizes and configurations. APC can produce castings for appliance parts, components for business machines, computers, scientific instruments, medical equipment, defense applications, automotive and more.
Additional benefits include reducing machining costs by buying "near-net shapes."
