Magnesium – Castings or CNC machining

Since 1995 we have been producing magnesium components for prototype and small/medium series projects. We offer both magnesium castings and CNC machined magnesium parts from solid.

In particular we focus on projects where a fast delivery time is requested. With our setup we are able to produce very complex magnesium components that typically are thinwalled and highly detailed.

Magnesium Casting in AZ91

Magnesium components - Our processes

pouring aluminium or magnesium

Plaster casting
Rapid magnesium castings can be produced by plaster casting within only 1-2 weeks. Suitable for complex parts in smaller quantities in the early development phase.

 

Die casting
High pressure die casting prototypes produced in soft tools within 6-8 weeks. Suitable for higher prototype quantities and smaller series.

 

 

CNC machining
Machined magnesium parts from solid. Suitable for magnesium parts with narrow tolerances in prototype and small/medium sized quantities.

CNC machining
Magnesium castings often involve secondary operations like CNC machining. We have many years of experience in machining magnesium castings. Besides CNC machining we can also take care of surface treatments.
