03 — Process

A clear path from idea to delivery.

Eight steps take your piece from the first conversation to finished metal, so you always know what happens next.

01

Initial consultation

Tell us about the piece: the design, the metal, the quantity and when you need it.

02

Design development

We refine your design in CAD and 3D modeling so it’s ready for production.

03

Prototyping

A 3D printed prototype lets you check fit, scale and detail before anything is cast.

04

Final adjustments

Changes are made at the model stage, while they’re still quick to make.

05

Casting production

Your piece is cast in the metal you chose, from a single unit to a full run.

06

Quality assurance

Castings are inspected for detail, surface and accuracy before they move on.

07

Finishing touches

Polishing, satin, sandblasting, engraving or stone setting, as the design requires.

08

Delivery & support

Your pieces are delivered, and we’re here for reorders, repairs and the next design.
