Aluminum casting

Non-ferrous alloys for industrial components and mold parts.

We produce castings in non-ferrous alloys, mainly aluminum-silicon, using molding systems adapted to the geometry, volume and technical requirements of each project. Final scope is defined based on geometry, material, equipment, volume, tolerances and operating conditions.

Overview

Casting integrated with patternmaking, machining and dimensional inspection.

Your project can be managed from part survey through casting, machining, finishing and validation, cutting handoffs between suppliers and keeping technical traceability.

Problems we solve
Make an aluminum part from a drawing or sample
Produce short runs or low volumes
Cast in inserts or cooling coils
Replace discontinued components
Combine casting with machining and validation
In plain terms

Who makes cast aluminum parts in Colombia?

What you can have made

Parts in silicon aluminum and other non-ferrous alloys: industrial components, spare parts and mold parts. Here Fundimoldes delivers the cast part and, if required, machined.

Which processes

Green sand, gas-cured sand and permanent mold. The molding system is chosen by geometry, quantity and required finish; for repeat casting we build permanent molds and dies.

From what information

A drawing, CAD model or physical part. With in-house patternmaking we build the casting pattern, and if you only have the part it can be reproduced through reverse engineering.

All in one plant

Patternmaking, casting and CNC machining of functional surfaces happen at our plant in Bogotá, with one project owner.

Variants

Types and scope.

Green sand casting

A versatile process for geometries and volumes subject to evaluation. Ideal for: Industrial parts, plates and spare parts.

Gas-cured sand casting

An option for molding and geometry requirements that call for hardened sand systems. Ideal for: Technical parts and components with specific configurations.

Permanent mold casting

A permanent mold for repeatability and recurring production. Ideal for: Industrial runs and repeat non-ferrous parts.

Parts with cast-in elements

Cooling coils or other components integrated during design and molding. Ideal for: Heating/cooling plates and systems with internal circulation.

Special parts and short runs

On-demand development of non-catalog components. Ideal for: Maintenance, replacement and special projects.

Workflow

How we work.

01
Technical assessment

We review geometry, estimated weight, material, volume, finish, tolerances and end use.

02
Engineering and patternmaking

We define the molding system, pattern, parting lines, cores, gating and machining allowances.

03
Preparation and melting

We prepare the molds and pour the casting using the agreed process.

04
Shakeout and finishing

We remove auxiliary systems and carry out cleaning or further preparation.

05
Machining and validation

When applicable, we machine functional surfaces and check dimensions using the agreed methods.

Deliverables
Technical assessment of the requirementManufactured solution or completed work, per scopeDimensional or functional inspection defined for the projectDocumentation included in the commercial proposalRecommendations for use, maintenance or next steps, when applicable
Keep in mind

Technical considerations.

Alloy

The alloy must be specified or validated according to function, environment, machining and your requirements.

Casting geometry

Wall thickness, section changes, radii, parting and feeding all affect feasibility and results.

Machining allowance

Surfaces to be machined need allowances defined during engineering.

Acceptance criteria

Visual inspection, dimensional inspection and 3D scanning are applied according to scope; other tests must be quoted separately.
