Why New Zealand Engineers Choose Kinetix FabWorks
for Casting Services

Full Material Traceability

Every casting ships with EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates covering chemical composition, mechanical properties, and heat number. NZ aerospace and defence clients can request 3.2 certification.

Integrated Cast-to-Machine Delivery

Castings are machined in-house on 3-axis and 5-axis CNC centres — removing handoff risk. NZ clients receive a single invoice, single contact, and consistent quality across the full production chain.

NDT & Radiographic Testing

Critical castings are verified by X-ray, ultrasonic testing (UT), and liquid penetrant inspection (PT). NDT reports are included as standard for NZ pressure vessel and structural applications.

Wide Alloy Range

Aluminium, stainless steel, carbon steel, grey iron, ductile iron, bronze, brass, titanium, and zinc alloys — all under one roof. No separate foundry coordination needed for NZ clients.

Dedicated NZ Account Manager

Every NZ client gets a dedicated point of contact from enquiry through delivery. Quote response within 24 hours, proactive status updates, and direct access to our engineering team.

Competitive NZ Pricing

Optimised foundry operations and integrated post-processing eliminate the middleman markup. NZ OEM clients benefit from volume pricing and long-term supply agreements.

FAQ

Common Questions About Our Casting Services in New Zealand

What casting processes does Kinetix FabWorks offer for New Zealand clients?

We offer sand casting, investment casting (lost-wax), high-pressure die casting, gravity die casting, and shell mould casting. Each process suits different alloys, volumes, and tolerance requirements. Our engineers help NZ clients select the most cost-effective method for their specific application — contact us at info@kinetixfab.com to discuss.

What alloys can you cast and ship to New Zealand?

We cast aluminium alloys (A380, 6061, 7075), stainless steel (304, 316, 17-4PH), carbon steel (WCB, LCB), grey iron, ductile iron, bronze, brass, zinc alloys (Zamak), and titanium (Grade 2 & 5). Mill certificates and spectrometry reports are available for all alloys.

What tolerances can you achieve for castings shipped to New Zealand?

Tolerances depend on the casting process: investment casting achieves ±0.05–0.3 mm; die casting ±0.05–0.2 mm; sand casting ±0.3–1.5 mm. Critical dimensions are verified on CMM equipment and 3D scanning systems. Post-casting CNC machining can achieve tolerances of ±0.005 mm on specific features.

Can you supply NDT reports for structural or pressure casting applications in NZ?

Yes. We provide radiographic (X-ray), ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle inspection (MPI), and liquid penetrant testing (PT) for critical castings. NDT reports are issued per ASTM, EN, or AS/NZS standards as required by your NZ project specification. Quote requests should include the applicable standard.

Do you offer post-casting machining for NZ clients?

Yes — this is one of our key advantages. Castings are machined in-house on our CNC machining centres including 5-axis capability, eliminating inter-supplier handoff delays. NZ clients receive fully finished, CMM-inspected, assembly-ready components under a single order.

What is the minimum order quantity for casting services to New Zealand?

Minimum order quantities depend on the casting method. Sand casting accepts single-piece prototypes. Investment and die casting typically require a minimum of 10–50 pieces depending on tooling economics. Contact us for a discussion on your volume — we work with NZ clients at all stages from prototype through production.
