Patterns & Tooling
Pattern and toolmaking are essential components of the manufacturing industry, playing a crucial role in producing intricate and precisely engineered products. Smestow Pattern and Tool Specialists have earned a stellar reputation in this field due to our commitment to quality, decades of experience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Pattern making is a fundamental step in the casting process, particularly in metalworking and foundry operations. It involves creating a master pattern, typically made of wood, metal, or plastic, that serves as the template or mold for producing multiple copies of a specific part through casting. This process is used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and marine, to manufacture complex components with exacting specifications.
The precision required in pattern making cannot be overstated. Even the tiniest imperfection can lead to costly defects and production delays. Smestow Pattern and Tool Specialists excel in this art, primarily due to our highly skilled craftsmen and engineers who have dedicated their careers to honing their pattern-making expertise.
