The Dean Group said that significant savings have been made by replacing welded assembly brackets with commercial grade investment castings across a whole range of applications and industries Industry has tended to focus on improving fabrication techniques, – flame or laser cutting profiled steel blanks, CNC bending and forming, robotic welding, etc – but there is still a large amount of labour involved.
The commercial grade investment castings offer a one-piece solution, free from welded joints, sharp edges and burrs.
Weight relieving of parts can be incorporated into the design at no extra cost where it would add cost to a fabrication.
For in-house production, there is an added benefit from an inventory perspective as the client is buying the finished item rather than a number of plates, which often have a complicated routing of cutting, de-burring, welding, dressing, post machining and plating.
The commercial grade investment castings have not only shown significant cost savings, but produce a better looking finished product, said Dean.
