Aluminum Casting FAQs

CPM Industries supplies aluminum sand castings for industrial, energy, defense, aerospace and heavy equipment applications. We support prototype development through repeat production with consistent quality and dimensional control.

Yes. We support prototypes using 3D-printed sand molds or conventional tooling, depending on geometry, size, and timing.
Yes. We can support dimensional layouts, material certifications, and documentation packages such as FAIR or PPAP when required. Include any specific requirements with your RFQ.
Yes. Heat treating can be provided as required. Include any specification, temper, and certification requirements with your RFQ.
Please include PDF drawings and CAD models, alloy/grade and quantity, and any inspection requirements (PPAP/FAIR/NDT if applicable).
Common alloys include A356, 356, 319, 535 (Almag), and 357. If you have a preferred alloy or heat treat/temper requirement, include it in your RFQ.
Yes. We can recommend draft, fillets, and casting-friendly changes while maintaining drawing intent and critical geometry.
Typically 1 to 5,000 pieces per year, depending on size, complexity, and tooling approach.
