Precision metal castings
for demanding applications
ALTAMET delivers finished metal castings in a wide range of alloys, with machining, inspection and documentation support for demanding applications
casting capabilities
Any type of
castings
ALTAMET supports casting projects from general industrial requirements to demanding aerospace-grade specifications. Depending on the project, parts can be produced to applicable ASTM, AMS, ASME, customer or industry requirements. You get finished castings, if necessary with machining. We take care of the entire production process.

alloys we work with
select material
define performance
Material selection is where component performance begins. ALTAMET delivers castings in a wide variety of alloys from general industry to high performance alloys. If needed our engineers will help you match alloy to functional requirements — weight, strength, corrosion resistance, heat exposure, machinability and inspection — so each casting route supports the part’s real operating conditions from prototype to production.

why casting
when casting
makes sense
Casting is often the right manufacturing route when the part shape, material usage or production volume makes machining from solid inefficient or impractical. Send us your drawing and we will help you define if casting method is right for you.

how we work
how to get
your part
Send us your drawing, 3D model or part requirements. ALTAMET reviews the geometry, material, quantity, quality requirements and delivery target, then proposes a suitable manufacturing route. We coordinate production, inspection, documentation and delivery, keeping the process simple from start to finish. You pay only after the finished parts are produced, inspected and approved, reducing sourcing risk before the order reaches your shop.

FAQ
frequently
asked questions
What information should I send for a casting quote?
For the most accurate quotation, please provide a 3D model or technical drawing, material specification, required quantity, tolerances, surface finish, testing requirements and any applicable industry standards.
STEP, STP and PDF files are commonly used. When some information is not yet available, send what you have and our team will help define the remaining requirements.
What casting methods can ALTAMET support?
ALTAMET can support different casting routes depending on the part geometry, alloy, tolerance requirements and production volume. Typical options may include investment casting, sand casting, permanent mold casting, die casting and specialty casting processes. The final route is selected after reviewing the drawing, material requirements and intended application.
Can ALTAMET help choose the right casting process?
Yes. If you are not sure which casting method is right for your part, ALTAMET can review the drawing, geometry, alloy, critical features, quantity and quality requirements to help define a suitable manufacturing route.
Can castings be machined after casting?
Yes. Many cast components require CNC machining after casting. Casting creates the near-net shape, while machining is used for critical surfaces such as datums, mounting faces, bearing seats, sealing surfaces, threads, holes and precision interfaces. ALTAMET can do it all: Datums machining, rough or finish machining.
Do you support both prototypes and production casting projects?
Yes. ALTAMET can support casting projects from prototype and first-article development to repeat production. Early-stage projects may focus on manufacturability, tooling strategy and sample validation, while production projects may include machining, inspection, documentation and supply planning.
Can ALTAMET provide inspection reports and documentation?
Yes. Depending on the project requirements, ALTAMET can support dimensional inspection, material certificates, mechanical testing, NDT reports, first article inspection and traceability documentation. Inspection requirements should be defined before production.
