3D PROTOTYPING
Fast, low cost prototype castings.
Your prototype solution.
3 Paths to Prototype:
We offer three distinct paths to prototype casts:
- 3D Impressions to Cast (low cost and fast turnaround) – Multi-use casts
- 3D Printed Mold to Cast (low cost and VERY fast turnaround) – One time use casts
- Traditional Hard Pattern and Tooling process (high cost, slow turnaround) – Multi-use cast
3D Benefits:
Benefits of 3D to Prototype:
- Low Cost – Inexpensive Process
- Fast turnaround from design to prototype.
- Ability to assist with design for manufacturability / prototyping
- Ability to 3D print pattern impressions in-house; drastically reduces tooling lead-time as opposed to lead-time of hard tooling
- Ability to pour 1-off molds; reduces cast time
- Reduced costs vs hard tooling

Machine Centers
Our CNC machining centers provides a variety of machines, operation times, and sizes for our quality ductile iron and gray iron products. A few of our quality machines are listed below, with their corresponding chuck sizes.
Quality Systems
ISO 9001-2015
Goldens’ Foundry & Machine Company has been ISO certified since December of 1997 and is currently certified to the ISO 9001-2015 version of the Standard. Our ISO program is based on the commitment by senior management to meet and exceed customer expectations and is maintained by frequent internal assessments and the employment of both “Lean Manufacturing” and “5S Program” techniques. Copies of our certificate are available to all current and prospective customers.
Quality Control
We effectively monitor each aspect of our production process to identify areas we can improve. In order to be a leader in ductile iron and gray iron castings, we must continually learn from our difficulties and accomplishments. Our dedication to continuous improvement guides our quality control department. Each department is audited at least twice during the calendar year. We ensure that processes are followed and quality objectives achieved. Corrective Action Requests are issued, as appropriate, based upon audit findings. We maintain a working body of knowledge, always accountable, so that we will improve. Management Review Meetings are held during the course of the year in order to verify that all aspects of our Quality System have been addressed.
Leadership meets weekly to discuss our tasks at hand, achievements in each department, and areas to improve. Likewise, department heads meet weekly with their teams to offer and solicit ideas for improvement.
