At SQM Casting, technical design begins with a thorough engineering review of your CAD files, drawings, and functional requirements. Our specialists run finite-element analysis (FEA) to predict stress, fatigue, and thermal behavior, recommend alloys that balance strength and machinability, and optimize wall thicknesses to reduce weight without compromising rigidity.
We analyze draft angles, gating, and machining allowances to streamline tooling and minimize secondary operations. Tolerance stack-ups are verified early to prevent assembly issues, and design for manufacturability (DFM) guidelines are applied so each feature can be cast, forged, or machined efficiently on our production lines. Detailed 2D drawings, updated 3D models, and simulation reports are provided for customer approval, while simultaneous cost-engineering identifies opportunities for material savings and cycle-time reduction.
All recommendations align with ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 standards, ensuring the finished component meets contractual specifications and audit requirements. By integrating analysis, material science, and real-world shop-floor feedback, SQM delivers designs that move smoothly from prototype to mass production, shortening lead times and lowering total cost of ownership for OEMs in automotive, rail, construction, energy, and agricultural sectors.
