Ornamental Castings - Cast Your Items

Cast Your Items

	Pattern Making To be able to cast your item, there has to be a master pattern created first. We are not permitted to copy other items, produced by other manufacturers. This is the process where all the model parts are born. John uses his skills gained from years in the jewellery trade and many years producing models to carefully file, sculpt and shape various materials to produce an exact representation of the real item in the fine scale required. A number of mediums are used for this process, such as timber, brass, aluminium, styrene, clay, or putty, depending on the shape and texture required. Using your line drawings or measurements taken out in the field of the life-size item, one exact scale model replica (pattern) is made. The master pattern may be for White Metal, resin, or bronze casting, if you require castings and need the initial patterns created, John may well be able to help you. John has created patterns for all of the Uneek model range over the last 20 years. John has helped other model makers by casting their parts from the patterns he has made. For all your pattern requirements contact John at Ornamental Castings.
	Casting If you require detailed model parts for a model project of your own, or you are embarking on producing model kits etc. and require many parts, contact John and discuss your requirements.
	Casting Items Yourself Like all manufacturing processes, quite a lot of time needs to be spent perfecting technique to ensure a good product. It may seem simple, but spin casting is not a process that is learned overnight. Through his extensive experience, John knows all-too-well the frustrations of this casting process. If you are just getting started trying to cast your own parts and would like some insight into the spin casting process, contact John for some casting tuition.
	Mould Making John can assist hobby casters by producing black organic or silicone rubber moulds for spin casting, thus eliminating the need for your own vulcanising press. If you would like moulds produced, then contact John.
