Since the foundation in 1977, a programme of continuous technical development and financial investment has established Norse Precision Castings Ltd as a principal UK supplier of aluminium sand castings and rigid polyurethane mouldings, with an enviable reputation for quality of service and product.
In addition to aluminium sand castings and rigid polyurethane mouldings, the comprehensive production facility includes a small gravity die-casting shop, rapid prototyping and area for light assembly work. The similarity of sand casting aluminium and cold moulding rigid polyurethane enables the cross fertilisation of skills and parallel use of facilities, particularly the modern computer aided design facility, modelling and precision finish machining.
Aluminium offers an excellent strength to weight ratio, good electrical and thermal properties with the fluidity to form complex three dimensional patterns to near net shape. Sand casting is an economic process for manufacturing small to medium volume parts, which enables the designer to realise ambitions of shape and finish, faithfully reproducing fine detail.
Rigid Polyurethane. Today's design engineers have a wide choice of materials at their disposal, and an ever increasing range of plastics. Compact rigid polyurethane compares favourably with most, and with the ability to be moulded at room temperature, offers some unique benefits.
