Newby Foundries maintains strong links with various universities, research institutes and companies. Our design and development department uses various rapid prototyping techniques to produce a wide range of parts. These can be from

• ABS and Resin parts for fit and form testing

• ABS, Sintered steel and Titanium for functional testing

• PS, ABS and wax parts for investment casting

• Sintered and Bonded sand for casting in our vacuum backed moulding plant

Rapid Prototyping allows for rapid turnaround on parts for appraisal and testing, allowing for faster design changes and tighter deadlines. Parts can be checked as part of an assembly. Rapid Prototyping also allows for a low cost solution for small runs and limited range products instead of producing a more costly pattern.

Newby Foundries maintains strong links with local universities and companies who continually use and develop the latest in Rapid Prototyping systems. Combining this with our years of casting experience, Newby Foundries can provide you with the widest range of services to meet your manufacturing needs.
