You tell us your requirements for cast parts, Castfast supplies you with the finished products. Castfast is not a foundry, but the link between the customer and the right foundry for your order. We check casting processes and materials in parallel, map your request to suitable suppliers and use free capacities efficiently. We take complexity, cycle times and costs into account and coordinate materials and routes with you. This allows you to achieve the optimum component faster, manufactured to a high standard, economically viable and delivered on time. Our service reduces coordination loops and creates clarity in the procurement process.
Casting allows you to create geometries with a high level of functional integration that other processes can hardly reproduce, or only with significantly greater effort. With cast parts, you can rely on homogeneous material properties across the entire volume and on proven casting materials that have been researched and certified for decades. Castings provide you with precision and resilience from individual parts to large series. Compared to 3D printing, you benefit from established material systems, stable, fast processes and clean production during casting. Castfast accelerates the path to the right cast product with structured matching, technical advice and transparent collaboration in a strong team.
Many foundries leave small quantities lying around. You want to procure urgently needed spare parts, but only have drawings because the original manufacturer is no longer on the market. Supply chains have to be recreated under time pressure and often a clean price and market comparison helps. Castfast structures these projects. We reconstruct individual parts and spare parts on the basis of drawings, synchronize your specifications with the network, bundle feedback on comparable options and provide you with a decision template that clearly weighs up technology, complexity, deadlines and costs.
The independent coordination of foundry and downstream CNC machining often fails due to component variants, because each cast part remains unique. Castfast brings both steps together: We use 3D scanning for the actual geometry, map tolerances into the CAM and create adaptive toolpaths for complicated components. Our machinists work with best-fit alignment, measuring loops and on-machine verification. This enables you to achieve reproducible precision, short start-ups and stable quality right through to the ready-to-deliver component.
At Castfast, you will receive a well-founded recommendation for casting processes and material selection. Our network covers steel, cast steel, iron, aluminum and other casting materials. We use hand molds, machine molds, core techniques, riser and gate concepts as well as filling and solidification simulation. We define tolerances, machining allowances, sealing surfaces and test characteristics together with you. This results in cast products with technical depth, reliable precision and fast delivery times – for industry and the automotive industry alike.
Every project starts with a qualification meeting for the spare part, prototype or series. This is followed by a catalog of requirements and a test catalog with clear standards and acceptance procedures. Order tracking makes the key moments visible and keeps the pace from model making, casting planning and casting to material and hardness testing. You can see where the project stands, make decisions based on data and keep the delivery within the target corridor. This process carries through to production and assembly.
Supply capability is created through diversity in the supply chain. Castfast shares risks, parallelizes critical components and combines capacities sensibly. Standardized, simple products run economically in foreign plants, while complex or safety-relevant components are produced in modern plants in Germany. This mix stabilizes your supply chain even if a supplier fails. You secure your rhythm, increase reliability and keep projects moving – with expertise from Europe’s network.
Demand on Castfast is currently focused on mechanical engineering, for example on parts for machine tools, gearboxes, pumps or housings. Castfast is based on official NACE industry lists and clearly assigns areas of application. This assignment facilitates coordination between engineering, purchasing and the company and ensures comparable feedback within the network. You receive components and products that exactly match your requirements and are available at short notice.
The casting industry has been practicing efficient recycling management for decades. Foundries return sprues, risers, chips and waste material to the melting process and use a high proportion of recycled steel and iron. You benefit from established materials with stable properties and processes that close material cycles in a technically clean way. This recycling process reduces raw material requirements and waste volumes and supports process reliability from prototype to series production.
Castfast bundles the procurement process for cast products into a clear procedure. You reach many foundries with one inquiry, we consolidate the feedback and provide you with a reliable option. We match the casting process and material selection exactly to the component and structure the process with a qualification meeting, requirements catalog, test catalog and order tracking with defined milestones. We stabilize the supply chain through splitting and parallelization and combine economical foreign capacities with reliable production in Germany. You reduce your coordination effort, increase reliability and receive documented quality on time. These are measurable benefits – based on experience, innovation and lean cooperation.
You send drawings, key data and target dates. Castfast plays the request into the network, bundles the feedback and presents you with a technically and commercially sound option. You receive precise cast products, reliable quality and a predictable delivery. You strengthen your supply chain and reduce internal coordination effort. Collaboration remains clear, responsibility remains with you and implementation is successful within the network.
