 Advance 3D laser pattern Scanning and
reverse engineering

As an essential first step in the casting

process, pattern making involves the
consideration of many details to
produce an accurate casting.
Shrinkage, distortion and machining
allowances which must be calculated
when shaping the cavity in-order to
build dimensionally accurate casting.

We have 3D Modeler “ SOLID WORKS” which facilitates pattern design. Other than modeling
software, we also are fully equipped with Solidification Simulation package “CAST CAE”
through which we can check sample casting up-to NDT quality Level – I , before producing it in
the Shop Floor.
