Mallard Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'm looking for a company that can make soft mold and casting some pieces for me. I know some people on this board do fabrication and thought I'd try here first. If anyone has the capability please PM me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Phil, My uncle that owns a company in Florida doing custom stainless steel fabrication will be up here tomorrow and Wednesday on his way up to Michigan. He's originally from there (Michigan) and has a lot of contacts in the business in that area. I'll ask him if he knows anyone. I'm pretty sure they get their parts x-rayed somewhere up there. Is this part what I think it is, just for reference? Kind of interesting you are going that route. My company does aluminum casting, but I think we get our molds from somewhere else. I'll find out tomorrow. Hit me up on AIM or I'll chat at you if I see you on. I have some questions about the process you are talking about in case anyone I talk to ask. Not familiar with what 'soft casting' is or what would normally be involved with casting the number of parts you are talking about doing. Do you guys manufacture your own parts where you work? Just wondering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe7 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 It's better to go with someone locally.. From experience, with the amount of money you will spend, you will be working with them quite a bit to get things just the way you want.

But yes, I agree, someone local would be best. Hopefully Jesse's uncle knows someone good in the area or else I'll start cold calling places.

I need either an SLA part made so that this other place can make the mold and cast it, or I need a place that will make the mold. I have a quote from a place in MI, but let me know if either of your companies deal with this type of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
