Western Mold Engineering open static permanent mold on a custom mold base

Complete Aluminum Casting Solutions

From Concept to Finished Component. Tooling expertise, partner-foundry collaboration, and production CNC machining.

Who We Are

Western Mold Engineering brings approximately 50 years of permanent mold experience to aluminum casting programs. We engineer and manufacture tooling, collaborate with partner foundries, and CNC machine castings into finished components. We do not operate a foundry. For OEMs and foundries alike, our team connects tooling knowledge with practical manufacturing support—from a new component concept to recurring production.

We believe in staying hands-on and accountable. Our values—honesty, consistency, motivation, resolution, confidence, and purposeful faith—are woven into how we operate. We're not just a supplier. We're your partner in smarter manufacturing.

Tooling Through Finished Components

Practical engineering and manufacturing support for OEMs and foundries:

Permanent mold engineering and manufacturing

Investment casting tooling and reverse engineering

Mold repair, modification, and initial pour support

Production CNC machining and fixture design

Tooling-focused foundry consulting

Casting is performed by partner foundries. We connect tooling expertise and machining support around your component requirements.

Aluminum castings with machined bores, threaded ports and mounting faces

Production CNC Machining

Recurring production machining for medium-sized, moderately complex aluminum castings. We support mid- to high-volume programs with in-house machining fixture design and a practical understanding of casting variation. Bring us an existing casting or involve our team early to connect tooling, partner-foundry production, and finished-component machining.
