Foundry-Ready Patterns

Sand Cast Master Pattern

Precision 3D printed master patterns for sand casting workflows. Skip conventional pattern-making and get foundry-ready parts faster, with complex geometries that traditional methods can't match.

Pattern Types We Produce

Split Pattern

Most Common

Two-part patterns divided along the parting line, used for symmetrical components like flanges, bushings, and pulleys.

Core Box

Internal Cavities

Precise core boxes for creating internal voids, holes, and undercut features in the final cast component.

Match Plate Pattern

Production Ready

Mounted plate patterns for repeat production runs, with cope and drag halves fixed to a single plate for alignment accuracy.

Loose Pattern

Trials & Sampling

Single-piece patterns for prototype casting trials and design validation before committing to production patterns.

Gating System

Flow Control

Runners, risers, and gate patterns printed to your foundry's specification for controlled metal flow and feeding.

Cope & Drag Set

Full Assembly

Complete upper and lower mold half patterns delivered as a matched set, ready to hand off directly to the foundry.

Ideal Use Cases

Automotive Components

Housings, brackets, manifolds, and structural castings for vehicle development and replacement part programs.

Industrial Machinery

Pump bodies, valve housings, gear blanks, and machine beds that require accurate net-shape casting patterns.

Replacement Parts

Reproduce obsolete cast parts from drawings or reverse-engineered scans without the original tooling.

Prototype Casting

Validate casting design before investing in permanent metal tooling — get cast samples in days, not months.

Heritage & Restoration

Reproduce patterns for heritage machinery or architectural ironwork where original patterns no longer exist.

Foundry Trials

Test new alloys, gating configurations, and process parameters using printed patterns before finalising the foundry workflow.
