Sand Casting

Foundry & Fabrication have been making high quality sand castings in aluminium and other non-ferrous metals for over 50 years. We still use, and are expert in, the more traditional method of greensand casting, but have also been employing the airset method for more than 20 years. Our airset sand castings are made with the help of extremely accurate computerised mixing systems, enabling stronger moulds and larger parts to be made.

Over our long history we have consistently been improving our aluminium sand casting techniques and modernising our sand foundry to ensure that we are producing work of the highest standard while also being the largest aluminium foundry in the South West.

Sand castings are often the best option when the volume required of a part (or parts) is not all that high, or, for example, where test parts are needed to help finalise the design of a product, as the pattern making part of the process is significantly cheaper than in aluminium gravity die casting, where the final tooling costs can be higher. It does require great care to produce consistent results, however, something which the highly experienced team at our sand foundry are very good at.

It is important to decide on the correct method of sand casting that is suitable for your project. For more information on the types of sand casting available at Foundry & Fabrication please visit our greensand casting and airset casting pages.
