    Technical Review

    Process Milson Foundry

    Every solution is born from a problem.

    Whatever dilemma you bring, we’ll use our four generations of foundry experience to understand it and then to create you an innovative solution.

    The team will review your goals, your customers’ needs, and focus on the best materials and techniques to use, in coming to an efficient result.

    Design

    CAD Drawing, 3D Modelling, Rapid Prototyping

    You can start from scratch or send in a 3D scan of your own prototype to create a digital model we adapt or improve. This way you’ll get the most carefully considered features designed through multiple stages of the development process.

    The end result will be a CNC rapid prototype, that you can test fitment under your own conditions.

    Refining the solution

    Refining the solution

    Process Milson Foundry

    Improved design. Improved results.

    The initial resin prototype will help to answer a lot of your questions and possibly raise some more. A constant feedback loop through all our stages allows us to work together to improve the solution, until we have designed a product that meets or exceeds your objectives.

    Pre-production

    Casting, pouring & perfecting.

    The resin prototype will assure you of dimensional accuracy.

    Our specialist R&D foundry will use rapid prototyping techniques to create the first casts of the design. You’ll then receive full quality samples of your product ready for testing.

    Testing

    Testing

    Virtual & physical.

    Based on your application, our testing includes computer modelling, simulations and physical examinations in real world applications. This is in addition to material, mechanical, chemical and structural tests

    We’ll use these results to undergo further refinement as necessary, ensuring you the optimum solution.
