TOOLING & PATTERN MAKING

Foundry Tooling

XL Pattern Shop designs, engineers, and manufactures precision foundry tooling for demanding production applications. From new pattern and tooling development to replacement, modification, and duplication of existing tooling, we build solutions engineered for accuracy, repeatability, and long-term production performance.

Built For The Foundry

TOOLING FOR NEARLY ANY CASTING PROCESS.

From simple greensand match plates to complex multi-core dry-sand assemblies and high-production metal tooling, XL Pattern Shop designs and manufactures foundry tooling for a wide range of casting processes and production requirements.

Our team can work from an existing CAD file, develop tooling from a 2D drawing, or reverse engineer an existing part or casting. With engineering, patternmaking, CNC machining, and inspection capabilities under one roof, we can take projects from initial concept through finished, production-ready tooling.
