A simple structure so engineering and purchasing know what happens when they ask for help.
The same steps apply whether the question is about a single critical casting or a group of parts.
Drawings, models, alloys, specifications, volumes, timing, and program expectations are gathered and clarified to ensure a complete understanding of what the casting must achieve.
The program is evaluated by casting design, material requirements, annual volumes, and required quality certifications to define the manufacturing profile needed for success.
Foundries with the right capability, capacity, and price will be aligned and identified as qualified candidates based on technical fit.
Options are reviewed with the buyer and RFQ or next steps are agreed.
As programs evolve, changes in design, material, or volume are reassessed to ensure continued alignment with the right foundry environment.
