Industries
Intercast supports customers across diverse industrial markets, each with its own performance, quality and manufacturing requirements.
From aerospace and automotive components to flow control, energy and industrial applications, our team works with customers to develop investment casting solutions around the needs of the part — including geometry, material, performance, production requirements and secondary operations.
Investment casting provides the design flexibility to produce complex near-net-shape components while creating opportunities to reduce machining, consolidate multi-piece assemblies and simplify manufacturing.
Aerospace components demand consistent manufacturing, process control and attention to critical requirements. Intercast supports aerospace customers with investment castings for complex applications where geometry, material performance and quality are essential.
Our experience includes components used in aircraft systems ranging from actuation and hydraulic applications to landing and braking systems, cargo systems and other critical aerospace assemblies.

Complex equipment components requiring near-net-shape manufacturing
Industrial equipment covers a broad range of applications, but many share the same manufacturing challenges: complex geometry, demanding materials, dimensional requirements and the need for reliable production.
Intercast works with industrial customers to evaluate components for investment casting and identify opportunities to simplify manufacturing.
In the right application, investment casting can replace multi-piece fabrications, weldments or heavily machined components with a single near-net-shape casting.

Why Investment Casting
Across these industries, the application requirements may be different, but many of the manufacturing challenges are the same.
Investment casting can provide an effective manufacturing solution for components requiring complex geometry, material flexibility and near-net-shape production.
Intercast works with customers early in the process to evaluate whether investment casting is appropriate for the component and to identify opportunities to improve manufacturability.
