When choosing a foundry, one has to make sure it is of the highest quality to avoid pitfalls in the engineering process such as casting defects. The proper design and molding from a trusted foundry can provide a defect free cast, but due to some control limitation and human interference, defects can always occur. Anything
Metal casting is the manufacturing process where molten metal is poured into a mold and allowed to cool and solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is broken or ejected out of the mold to complete the process. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be difficult

As Patriot Foundry has grown since its inception in 1984, it has always operated on the principles of quality work and superior craftsmanship. When Debbi and Chris Leuteritz purchased the foundry in 2008 they had a vision of keeping the company up to speed with the changing needs of customers and industry standards. Since then,
Patriot Foundry is committed to producing defect-free bronze, aluminum, and zinc alloy casts for our clients. We set ourselves apart from other foundries by fostering partnerships with our customers to provide unique solutions to production challenges. When a recent project presented an imposing 50% casting scrap rate, we turned to ESI ProCAST software to help
