BLESS / CASTING
BLESS provides low pressure and gravity aluminum casting with in-house tooling, CNC machining and coating. The drawing and project requirements guide the route discussion.
Review both approaches with the geometry, tooling, material, production needs and acceptance criteria.
Low pressure casting uses applied pressure to move molten metal into the mold. That filling method is one part of the decision: the geometry, material, tooling and acceptance criteria need to be reviewed together.

Gravity casting relies on gravity to fill the mold. Suitability is reviewed with the geometry, tooling, material, production needs and acceptance criteria rather than inferred from the filling method alone.
Explore the process →BLESS works with A356, AC4C, AC4A, ZL111, ZL108 and 319. State the exact designation and applicable standard on your drawing.

BLESS connects the component requirements, manufacturing route and agreed checks in one project discussion.
01 / UNDERSTAND
Review the drawing revision, application, functional features and open questions.
Which dimensions and interfaces matter?
02 / PLAN
Align the casting process, tooling, CNC machining, coating and inspection scope.
What needs confirming before production?
03 / MAKE
Complete the agreed manufacturing route around the approved drawing.
Which steps affect fit and finish?
04 / PROVE
Inspect the agreed features, prepare requested reports and pack for transit.
What evidence travels with the order?
Low pressure casting uses applied pressure to move molten metal into the mold. Gravity casting relies on gravity for filling. The filling method alone does not determine suitability: review the geometry, tooling, material, production needs and acceptance criteria together.
Yes. Casting establishes the basic component shape; CNC machining may be specified for features such as mating faces, bores and threads. Mark these requirements on the drawing, including datums and dimensional requirements, so casting and machining can be discussed as one project.
State the alloy designation and applicable standard if your design already specifies them. List critical dimensions, surface conditions and the checks or records you require. Material availability, manufacturing suitability and the inspection scope need to be confirmed for the individual project.
