Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace Components
The hottest and trendiest topic in manufacturing today is Additive Manufacturing. Additive Manufacturing (AM) also known as 3D Printing can produce parts from plastic and metal. There are 3 common plastic processes and 5 common metal processes available today.
3D METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
There are some truly amazing projects happening in the metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) space these days. 3D metal printing is serving a wide variety of critical industries including: aerospace, medical, heavy duty diesel, automotive, oil and gas and US Government/DOD. Our 3D printing focus is on Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) also known as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and sometimes referred to as Powder Bed Fusion Technology. This digital process uses a layer by layer material build-up approach using layers of powdered metal from 20 to 100 micron. This digital process can produce high precision metal parts in a very short time versus traditional tooling and manufacturing methods.
3D METAL PRINTING & THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
Two of today’s big buzzwords in manufacturing are Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D Printing. The technology is not new to the world but over the last few years it has grown exponentially. This is due to the number of inexpensive desktop printers that have been brought to the market and a new younger generation of engineers that are embracing this technology.

WITH METAL 3D PRINTING
3D metal printing an additive manufacturing technology that is revolutionizing the design and prototyping world especially in industries such as truck, transportation, medical parts, agriculture, aerospace and motorsports. With increasing application of the technology, there is potential for metal additive manufacturing to become an integral part of every engineer and designer’s toolkit. It is complementary to traditional subtractive methods - like CNC machining as well as the traditional foundry.

Our new ICT/Dualtech video was recently completed. Take a tour of our entire operation through our four buildings!
Innovative Casting Technologies Expansion
We recently expanded our corporate headquarters to make room for a larger quality department. Our new shipping and receiving building was also completed and is now fully operational.
ICT-Dualtech Foundry Reclaims 100% of Sand
Dualtech Foundry recently added a thermal reclaimer, therefore 100% of all sand is now reclaimed. In doing so, we eliminated disposal costs and reduced our carbon footprint.
ICT-Dualtech Foundry Does Damage Control
After a devastating fire, Dualtech made castings again within seven weeks and avoided losing customers accustomed to four-week lead times.
