Engineering and Quality Engineering services that reduce the time to market.
ATEK Metal Technologies engineers will take time to understand your goals and work to get your products to market faster. Our optimal product design and process controls ensure you receive highly reliable, premium castings, time after time.
We deliver premium castings using optimal designs,
best processes and comprehensive services.
Solidification Modeling
We use EKK software to run casting simulations on all new projects to verify the design and ensure accurate molds prior to tool build.
Tool Design
We design and build some of the industry’s most complex permanent mold tools. Once a casting CAD model is created, we’ll design and manufacture the mold and core boxes within your specified timeframe.
Dimensional Verification
We perform CMM dimensional inspection and digital scanning to verify the casting geometry meets your required tolerance. Digital scanning of the casting, tooling and cores (when applicable) allows data comparison to the CAD model and locates any precise dimensional deviation.
PPAP
All new projects follow a rigorous APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) development process to ensure program success. Additionally, we perform a detailed PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) to adhere to your requirements or in accordance with current AIAG standards.
Quality controls and testing ensure castings
meet your specifications.
Continuous Improvement
Our process technicians implement continuous improvement initiatives throughout ATEK Metal Technologies. We utilize Six Sigma principles to eliminate waste and reduce process variations. These lean principles result in lower costs, reduced scrap rates, better efficiencies and improved process consistency.
Quality
We are committed to providing high-quality casting products and services at competitive prices. Each of our employees is responsible for meeting quality objectives.
Metallurgical Lab
We have the equipment and expertise to verify aluminum quality every step of the way, from incoming raw materials to the final shipped casting.
Mechanical Property Testing
Our in-house capabilities also allow us to perform mechanical property and BHN tests to ensure we are meeting our customer’s strength requirements.
