    A team of experts who work for you

    New or Existing Casting?

    We learn about your product, reviewing everything from napkin sketches to existing tooling, and then follow a production process developed to meet/exceed all product requirements.

    Tooling Development

    Cushman works with your existing tooling. Alternatively, we can build and construct the tools you require. We also maintain tooling, so it is ready when you need it.

    Prototypes & First Articles

    Cushman follows a time-saving proprietary process to produce prototypes. We evaluate a series of factors, including the article’s purpose, geometry, alloy, desired quality, finish, and turnaround time.

    Production & Optimzation

    We evaluate and improve costs and lead time, look for ways to expedite your product inventory, and constantly review strategies for quality improvement. In addition, we track the casting process to ensure repeatability.

    Casting Source’s July/August 2021 Q&A “You Don’t Have To Be Monet,” by Kim Phelan, featuring Reg Zeller

    Casting Source: You’re passionate about bringing manufacturing back to America, and certainly the reasons are many to do so. But is it one of those things that’s easier said than done?
    Reg Zeller: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this conversation with customers. Bringing something back to the U.S. is substantially easier than what it takes to initially get something going overseas. We created our own proprietary development process to make this simple.
