"Casting" is a manufacturing process by which a molten material such as metal or plastic is introduced into a mold, allowed to solidify within the mold, and then ejected or broken out to make a fabricated part. Casting is used for making parts of complex shape that would be difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods (such as cutting from solid material).

From prototype to production quantities, Palmer Associates will source your components in a timely manner. We are capable of receiving your design in electronic files, i.e.: IGS, STL, PDF or DWG format.
