Alphawerk delivers high-quality investment cast components crafted from a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Additionally, we conduct essential secondary operations on the cast parts, including finish machining, heat treatment, and surface treatment.
Alphawerk has the capability to work with a diverse range of materials, including carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and various stainless steel grades. Additionally, we are experienced in handling a wide variety of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and bronze.
We produce bespoke investment cast parts for our customers catering to various applications. To initiate the process, please submit the pertinent part drawings, 3D files, and other necessary information by clicking the button below. Rest assured, we will expedite the processing and ensure you receive a quote at the earliest convenience.
Our standard practice involves utilizing a machined aluminum tool as the negative counterpart of the final metal part. Wax is then injected into the mold to generate a pattern, serving as the positive representation of the final metal part.
Alternatively, the pattern can be created through 3D printing. Utilizing a 3D printed wax pattern enables the production of parts with intricate geometry and designs, including undercuts that might be challenging to mold using an aluminum tool.
Upon receipt of your purchase order, we will initiate a formal Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review in collaboration with you and your team. This critical step aims to optimize the design, proactively preventing issues, minimizing production time, and ensuring that the investment casted components align with your design and performance criteria.
The inclusion of a First Article Inspection Report (FAIR) is integral to a comprehensive product development program. Conducting meticulous inspections is crucial to prevent the occurrence of out-of-tolerance components and the need for rework in stamped parts. Alphawerk's process integrates this indispensable step, providing you with full confidence in the quality of the parts you receive.
The events unfolding globally in the early 2020s have highlighted the significance of effective inventory management and resilient supply chains. The conventional just-in-time (JIT) approach may limit your capacity to respond swiftly to market or order fluctuations. Establishing a globally connected supply partner emerges as an effective strategy for fortifying resiliency and diversifying sources of supply.
