Art in the Cast: The Unicorn

We produce cast aluminium products not only for industrial use, but also as design elements and art projects. In random order, we present some of these exciting concepts to you.
Today: The Unicorn

The skill and ability of our employees is also evident here, in the production of a special farewell gift.

Our apprentice foundry workers printed a unicorn out of plastic in a 3D printer and prepared the model for casting. Then they moulded it by hand in OBB sand (water-free moulding sand), cast it, sanded it cleanly, trowalised it and finally painted it.

With our many years of experience and the three casting processes of gravity die casting, pressure die casting and low-pressure die casting, there are hardly any limits to the design and sizes - we can realise practically any shape. Around 700 tonnes of aluminium are processed in our foundry every year and machined into ready-to-install products. We have equipment and modern CNC machining centres at our disposal for this purpose.


By the way: From autumn 2022, we will be offering apprenticeships for EFZ casts technologists and EFZ casts moulders.
