Kinetix FabWorks delivers high-integrity metal casting services to New Zealand — sand casting, die casting, investment casting, and gravity casting. Complex geometries. Tight tolerances. Export-ready for Auckland, Wellington & Christchurch.
Kinetix FabWorks operates advanced casting facilities engineered for complex metal components. From single prototype castings to large production volumes, our foundry delivers dimensional accuracy, excellent surface integrity, and full material traceability — all backed by a strict quality management system.
Our casting services are tightly integrated with downstream CNC machining and surface finishing — meaning NZ clients receive fully finished, assembly-ready components from a single supplier.
Each casting method delivers unique advantages. Our engineers help NZ clients select the right process for geometry, volume, alloy, and budget requirements.
Our green sand and no-bake sand casting process handles complex shapes in a wide range of alloys. Cost-effective for low-to-medium volumes, with part weights from under 1 kg to over 500 kg. Ideal for NZ agriculture, construction, and industrial machinery components.
High-pressure die casting for aluminium, zinc, and magnesium alloys. Exceptional surface finish and dimensional consistency — ideal for high-volume NZ OEM and automotive components requiring repeatability.
Lost-wax investment casting achieves tolerances of ±0.05 mm with excellent as-cast surface finish. Suitable for stainless steel, titanium, and superalloy components for NZ aerospace, defence, and medical device sectors.
Permanent mould gravity casting for aluminium and copper alloys. Better mechanical properties than sand casting, finer grain structure, improved pressure tightness — ideal for hydraulic housings and marine components.
Shell moulding produces high-dimensional accuracy steel and iron castings with excellent surface finish. Suited for medium-volume production of gears, connecting rods, and valve bodies for NZ energy and construction sectors.
Castings are machined in-house on our CNC centres to final drawing dimensions — eliminating supplier handoff delays. NZ clients receive fully finished, inspection-certified, assembly-ready components.

| Process | Typical Tolerance | Volume Range | Best Alloys | Complex Geometry | Tooling Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sand Casting | ±0.3 – 1.5 mm | 1 – 1,000+ | Steel, Iron, Al, Cu | ✓✓ | Low |
| Investment Casting | ±0.05 – 0.3 mm | 10 – 10,000 | SS, Titanium, Ni | ✓✓✓ | Medium |
| Die Casting | ±0.05 – 0.2 mm | 1,000+ | Al, Zinc, Mg | ✓✓ | High |
| Gravity Die | ±0.2 – 0.5 mm | 50 – 5,000 | Al, Cu Alloys | ✓ | Medium |
| Shell Mould | ±0.1 – 0.5 mm | 100 – 10,000 | Steel, Iron | ✓✓ | Medium |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Optimised foundry operations and integrated post-processing eliminate the middleman markup. NZ OEM clients benefit from volume pricing and long-term supply agreements.
Parts cast, machined, inspected, and shipped to your facility — nationwide NZ delivery via DHL, FedEx, and freight forwarder.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Upload your drawing or CAD file. Our foundry engineers will review and respond within 24 hours with process recommendation, material options, and pricing. No commitment required.
