Download the NovaCast brochure “A Single Source Solution for Precision Cast and Machined Components” for an overview of our capabilities across many casting processes. Optimised for viewing on digital screens, our brochure will be updated regularly as we grow into new markets and introduce new technologies into our business.
The selection of the most appropriate alloy for a casting can be a complex decision that is further complicated by having to cross reference between different standards in many countries. Our range of alloy data sheets covering the most popular alloys cast by us will provide a solid starting point for discussions.
Find out moreWe will be adding case studies to our website as often as we can as they provide an overview of the challenges, solutions and context around some of the casting projects we have completed.
Find out moreWe believe that the dissemination of knowledge and experiences builds relationships and trust, allowing greater understanding of both challenges and opportunities leading to better solutions for all. In this area of our website you will find a growing collection of guides, white papers and top tips that we hope you will find helpful.
