Malabou Capabilities: Precision Metal Casting & Engineering Solutions
Malabou is a trusted provider of precision-engineered metal components, offering comprehensive solutions in metal casting, machining, fabrication, forging, and toolmaking. Serving industries across New Zealand, Australia, and globally, we specialise in delivering high-quality components tailored to your specific requirements.
Comprehensive Metal Casting Services
Our extensive metal casting capabilities encompass a variety of processes and materials to meet diverse industrial needs:
Investment Casting (Lost Wax Casting)
This process is ideal for producing complex, high-precision components ranging from a few grams up to 45 kg. It offers excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy, reducing or eliminating the need for machining. It is suitable for materials including carbon steel, medium alloy steels, stainless steel, and non-ferrous alloys.
Sand Casting
This method provides high detail and accuracy for medium to large steel castings, typically ranging from 1 kg to 40 kg. It is cost-effective for low to medium production volumes and is compatible with specialty cast irons and steels.
Shell Mould Casting
This method provides high detail and accuracy for medium to large steel castings, typically ranging from 1 kg to 40 kg. It is cost-effective for low to medium production volumes and is compatible with specialty cast irons and steels.
Die Casting
We specialise in aluminium die casting and deliver components with excellent surface finish and dimensional consistency, ideal for high-volume production runs.
Additional Engineering Services
Beyond casting, Malabou offers a suite of engineering services to provide end-to-end solutions:
Machining
Malabou offers precision machining services as part of its end-to-end metal component solutions. Their capabilities include CNC machining, turning, milling, drilling, and electrical discharge machining (EDM), ensuring components meet tight tolerances and exact customer specifications. Machining is available for various materials, including SG (ductile) cast iron, steel alloys, and non-ferrous metals. It is typically used to enhance dimensional accuracy and surface finish after casting or forging.
Fabrication
We provide comprehensive fabrication services, including welding and assembly, to deliver complete, ready-to-use components.
Forging
We offer forging solutions for components requiring superior strength and durability, suitable for various industrial applications.
Tool and Die Making
Expertise in designing and manufacturing high-quality tooling for investment casting, sand casting, die casting, and plastic injection moulding. Our capabilities include the design and manufacture of complex dies with multiple side cores and loose inserts.
