Custom Castings

Not your typical foundry

Custom Castings is a full service investment casting foundry in the Inner West of Sydney. 

Working across sculpture, repeat castings and one-off pieces in bronze, brass, aluminium, copper and 316 grade stainless steel.

We can assist and coordinate your casting from start to finish whether you want 1000 castings or just one.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

By combining mass production tools with bespoke fabrication skills, we're a foundry able to offer fully custom casting options tailored to meet the unique needs of all types of customers from artists, to designers, to larger businesses and engineering firms.

Unlike many foundries, we can work with your digital files or provide CAD design services. We also offer in-house 3D printing and laser cutting to affordably prototype products before full production runs. Our aim is to remove the barriers that have previously made it hard for people from all walks of life working with foundries.

Our goal is to make metal casting accessible and affordable for everyone.

Why our process is better

  • CAD Design and tooling

    CAD Design and tooling

    Very few Australian foundries can help their customers design, and fabricate their own moulds for wax injection like we do. These moulds are the key to affordable and exact repeat castings.

  • wax injection machine

    wax injection

    Injecting wax into machined moulds creates perfect replicas in seconds, not hours, allowing us to mass produce parts with exact tolerances quickly and easily compared to taking a wax from a traditional silicone mould

  • Steam De-wax

    Steam De-wax

    By using a high temperature, high pressure, boilerclave to dewax our ceramic shell, we successful melt away wax from the mould cleanly, much more so than by the traditional method of burning it out, reducing inclusions and casting errors from ash another other inclusions

  • Induction furnace

    With our induction furnaces, we are capable of working in many more metals than a traditional foundry, especially higher temp materials like stainless steel

Our services include

  • Metal casting in Bronze, Brass, Aluminium, Copper and Stainless Steel

  • Design and production of tooling for wax injection

  • Silicone moulding of artworks and sculpture, and low run parts

  • Welding - MIG and TIG in stainless steel and bronze

  • Polishing - rumble polishing through to a mirror finish

  • 3d printing of one off or low run parts

  • 3d scanning of existing parts for replication

  • 3d modelling in Solidworks and Rhinoceros 3D

  • Post machining

  • Heat treating

  • Patinas, waxes and clear coating
