Since 1988 we have produced complex and functional prototypes and small batches in aluminium, magnesium and zinc.

We have extencive knowledge about aluminium casting and we are the only company in Denmark who can offer magnesium casting. 
 

Aluminium, magnesium, zinc -what should I choose?
 

Since 1988 we have produced complex and functional prototypes and small batches in aluminium, zinc and magnesium. But what material should you choose? It obviously depends on what the product will be used for in the end.

Aluminium is by far the most widely used material. It is easy to work with and also the cheapest of the three materials. Magnesium allows a good finish and is also lighter than aluminum. Therefore it is used in products where a lower total weight is preferred. Zinc has a greater density and if used inside plastic products, the higher weight will signify quality to the end user. Zinc is also durable and is therefore often used for fittings, hinges, etc.

In addition, we can offer the aluminium composite Duralcan®. Duralcan® is a highly durable material and is used for example in brakes discs in high speed trains.
