Capabilities
OUR UNIQUE PROCESS YIELDS UNIQUE SOLUTIONS TO MANY CASTING CHALLENGES, NO MATTER THE INDUSTRY
AUTOMOTIVE, MEDICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, HYDRAULICS, AND MORE
There is a range of casting requirements that lies somewhere between the process advantages of sand, investment, permanent mold, and die casting. When it comes to balancing the tooling and production with volume and quality requirements, it can be difficult to find the right solution without making unnecessary compromises. The Alpha Process provides a powerful answer to these challenges. We can cast thinner sections, smaller holes, and better surface and lettering detail – all more consistently than most competing production casting processes.
Alpha Foundrymen are casting pros.
We work with aluminum, zinc, and iron. Cast iron is stronger and harder than steel, thanks to its compressive strength and carbon-alloy composition. Alpha Foundry melts iron to over 3000º degrees and pours it into casts. We make thousands of castings for the electrical products industry.

WE ARE ALSO A DIGITAL FOUNDRY
and can eliminate the need for physical patterns. Our 3-D printing capability for both molds and cores offers the advantages for fast prototyping and rapid updating all without the time and expense of pattern making. All that’s needed is a CAD file to start your job.
