Buyers looking to lower costs have the tools on this site
Converting labor intensive weldments to single price castings is a low risk. The process, abbreviated W2C for Weldment-to-Casting, has been proven to save as much as 40% or more over weldments.
Engineers can improve the part, at no additional cost, to reduce failures, add your company’s logo, and improve the professional appearance- side benefits which add on top of cost savings.
Not all weldments are a good candidate for conversion.
This website was designed to give you research tools to decide where and how to begin the evaluation process to see if W2C is right for your parts, products, and customers.
Midwest Metal Products, the only foundry owned and operated by a metallurgist, has provided this site for those who want straight talk from a foundry that is already creating weldment-to-casting conversions for businesses just like yours.
