Product Process Cycle
At A & T Mechlink, every project follows a precise and data-driven process cycle that ensures excellence from concept to completion. It begins with CAD Modeling, where component geometry is developed with accuracy and manufacturability in mind. Through Method Design, we define the most efficient gating and riser systems to optimize metal flow. Using Casting Simulation, our experts predict and prevent potential defects before production begins. Detailed Defect Analysis allows us to fine-tune designs for maximum quality and consistency. We then move to Casting Tool Design, creating high-precision tooling layouts that align perfectly with simulation outcomes. Finally, through Casting Tool Making, our skilled team transforms digital designs into durable, production-ready tools — ensuring flawless performance and repeatability in every casting.

Mastering the Casting Process Chain: A Simulation-Driven Approach
Our comprehensive, seven-step process chain integrates cutting-edge simulation technology at every stage to ensure the highest quality and performance of your cast components. We don't just design; we predict and prevent issues before they arise.
The Key Steps Include:
- CAD Modeling & Method Design: Establishing the component and the gating/riser system.
- Filling Simulation: Analyzing mold filling dynamics to prevent air entrapment and cold shuts.
- Solidification & Defects: Predicting shrinkage porosity and other potential defects.
- Micro Structure: Simulating the resulting grain structure and material properties.
- Stress and Deformation: Analyzing thermal stresses and final part distortion.
- Casting Tooling Making: Using optimized data to produce high-precision molds and dies.
This rigorous methodology leads to reduced costs, faster time-to-market and superior component integrity.
