Our proven 4 step transfer path — clear, fast, and engineering-led:

Tool Receipt and Analysis

GD Casting coordinates the transportation of the tooling to our facility. Once the tool hits our dock the clock starts. We inspect the tool and provide you with a report that includes a summary of the condition and outlines our plan for any necessary adaptations and repairs.

In-house Tooling Adaptation

Once approved, we perform all repairs, maintenance, and adaptation in-house. GD Casting replaces worn or damaged cores and ejector pins, tests water lines, cleans and polishes the cavities, and performs any other repairs that would be required to run the tool.

Tooling Prep and Set

It’s time to cast!

FastTrac projects are very important to GD Casting and get scheduling priority. The tool is fitted on an appropriately sized machine and set-up is performed. Once everything is in order we start making your sample.

Delivery

Once the sample is complete, we overnight it to you. From start to finish, you have a sample part within 48 hours.
