Ceramicast supplies many other top automobile and Formula One companies including parts for the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, rally car semi-automatic gearbox parts, and many of these castings are supplied finish machined, heat treated and painted ready for assembly.

A large proportion of new jobs now arrive at the company as CAD files via e-mail and go direct to its toolmakers to produce the wax injection tooling. Sometimes an initial prototype sample is made first by utilising a wax pattern made directly by a stereo lithography machine to provide a sample casting within one week before the tooling is made.

Ceramicast is fully approved to BS EN ISO 9001-2000 and also TS 157 for the production of aerospace and defence castings.
