Casting Capabilities

Cast iron casting programs supported from tooling through final inspection, with manufacturability review, machining, documentation, and one accountable team managing the process from print to finished part.

Cast Iron Grades Gray Iron Class 25, Class 30, Class 35, and Class 40 Grade selection based on strength, machinability, damping characteristics, and application requirements
Part Size & Production Range 0.1 lb to 3,000 lb typical casting weight Prototype, low-volume, and repeat production programs supported based on part requirements
Pattern Tooling Pattern tooling design and build support Wood, urethane, and aluminum tooling options selected around geometry, volume, and production life
Casting Processes Green sand and no-bake (airset) molding 3D printed molds available for rapid prototyping, design validation, and complex geometry Process selected based on part requirements, volume, and lead time
Heat Treatment Heat treatment specified based on grade, performance requirements, and customer specifications
Machining Machining support through finished part requirements Critical features, datum structure, and inspection approach reviewed before production
Finishing & Surface Treatments Painting, coating, oiling, and other treatments coordinated when required Finishing selected based on application, environment, and customer specifications
Inspection, Testing & Documentation Dimensional inspection with reporting, including first article layouts when required Magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, or other testing available as required FAIR, PPAP, material certifications, and ISO 9001 quality documentation supported
Engineering & Program Support Print review and manufacturability feedback before quoting and production Gating, riser, tooling, machining, and alternate manufacturing approaches reviewed when appropriate

Why Work With CPM

CPM helps reduce the friction of cast iron casting programs by aligning tooling, casting, machining, inspection, and communication through one accountable team.

Tooling Control from the Start

Pattern tooling is managed through CPM so design intent, foundry requirements, and production needs stay aligned from the beginning.

One Accountable Partner

No chasing multiple vendors. One team owns the project path from print review through finished part delivery.

Defined Process Through Delivery

Tooling, casting, machining, and inspection are planned together to reduce surprises later in the program.

Built for Flexible Volumes

Support for prototype, low-volume, and repeat production without forcing the project into a high-volume model.

Clear Communication

Defined checkpoints and straightforward updates help keep timing, requirements, and expectations aligned.

60+ Years in Business  •  ISO 9001:2015 Compliant  •  U.S.-Based Program Support  •  One Accountable Partner from Print to Finished Part
