The ability to accurately reverse engineer existing castings is essential to any modern foundry. Reverse engineering could be required for a variety of reasons ranging from replication of an old casting where original patterns have been lost to improving mechanical performance or learning from an existing design to replicate or improve it. Whatever the reason, … Read more

Where tradition meets technology
NovaCast was established in 1979 and has evolved from a small, specialist non-ferrous foundry located in Melksham, England, into a substantial business with the capability and flexibility to satisfy the needs of international customers across wide ranging industries and with hugely diverse requirements.
Although the core sand, investment and gravity die casting processes have changed very little over the years, the complexity of the castings and the technology employed at the foundry have changed dramatically. The latest CMM technology, advanced testing and strictly enforced quality management systems ensure that we deliver consistently high-quality cast and machined components. The very latest casting simulation, 3D modelling, and 3D printing technologies employed by our ever-expanding design engineering team, have reduced lead times, lowered costs and improved quality. Specialist ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, advanced precision machining, performance enhancing finishes and surface treatment options are all evolving and NovaCast is committed to remaining at the forefront of the metal casting industry.
An international supply chain
Our rock-solid international supply chain has allowed us to expand our casting options to include pressure die casting, lost foam casting and shell mould casting as well as precision silica sol casting. By building relationships over many years with complementary foundries, both in the UK and the Far East, NovaCast has been able to extend and enhance its capability but retains strict control over the supply chain at all times with quality assurance taking place in the UK in accordance with NovaCast’s ISO9001:2015 accreditation.

Investing for the future
The financial strength of the business has allowed it to continually invest in people, skills and technology employed at the foundry, particularly in the areas of design engineering and quality assurance. Additional warehousing facilities, coupled with the financial strength of the business, have allowed NovaCast to offer established customers a stock-holding facility that ensures continuity of supply and rapid order fulfilment.
