Share your part details, drawings, or CAD files. Redstone will review the requirements and confirm feasibility, tolerances, materials, lead time, and next steps.
Final specifications are confirmed during the technical feasibility review.
Redstone helps hardware teams move from released drawings to repeat production with documented quality, competitive unit costs, and engineering support from the U.S.
Every sand casting in Mexico runs to ISO 9001 with dimensional checks, chemical analysis, and hardness testing. Critical parts add X-ray and ultrasonic inspection, and each shipment ships with the documentation a customer quality audit expects.
Sand casting carries low tooling cost, so it is the affordable route for large and medium-volume parts. Castings from Mexico that meet USMCA rules of origin ship duty-free, and the Section 232 tariff structure favors Mexico-sourced production. Nearshoring the foundry to Monterrey keeps the supply chain inside North America, and we quote on landed cost, with freight and duties in the number before you see it.
Redstone is built for hardware OEMs and industrial suppliers moving cast iron, steel, or aluminum parts into production in Mexico. Monterrey proximity also keeps transit short and foundry tours easy to schedule.
Redstone supports production metal parts across automotive, electronics, industrial equipment, and consumer hardware programs.
Engine blocks, manifolds, brackets, and housings cast in iron and aluminum and inspected to ISO 9001 for sustained automotive production.
Gearboxes, pump bodies, and industrial frames cast in ductile iron and steel for durable, load-bearing equipment.
Valves, flanges, and pressure-resistant parts cast in corrosion-resistant alloys and verified by NDT.
Supports, connectors, and custom metal fittings cast for strength and long service life in demanding environments.
From initial drawings to final delivery, Redstone keeps each stage clear, documented, and aligned with production requirements.
Each handoff is documented. No stage moves forward until drawings, materials, and production requirements are confirmed with the customer.
Upload your 3D model or technical drawing. Our engineering team reviews every submission for manufacturability and recommends the best casting method before quoting.
A detailed quote covering tooling, materials, casting, machining, lead time, and finish options, with USMCA and freight factored in. One U.S. point of contact, start to finish.
We produce CNC-machined or 3D-printed patterns and core boxes sized to your part, then prove the tooling before any production release.
After molding the sand around the pattern, molten metal is poured into the sand molds under controlled conditions, with in-process checks to hold consistent quality across the run.
After shakeout, each casting is cleaned, finished, and inspected. We coordinate cross-border freight under USMCA to your dock with a Certificate of Conformance.
Redstone supports production sand casting programs for OEMs and engineering-led teams that require repeatable quality, controlled costs, and reliable part production.

2024 and 6061 are both workhorse aerospace alloys, but they serve opposite needs: 2024 delivers high strength and fatigue resistance under tension, while 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility.
7075 aluminum nearly doubles the tensile strength of 6061 and dominates aerospace tooling, but it is generally considered non-weldable and harder to form. 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility for a broader range of industries.

6061 aluminum can be bent, but its precipitation-hardened T6 temper makes it prone to cracking if handled without the right techniques. Proper bend radii, annealing, and controlled heating are all essential for successful results.
3003 and 6061 are two widely used aluminum alloys with complementary strengths. 6061 excels in structural applications requiring strength and machinability, while 3003 is preferred for forming and aesthetics.

Sand casting handles metals with high melting temperatures at low cost, and it suits a wide range of part sizes and volumes. It is an affordable way to cast larger parts without expensive machining.
Castings that meet USMCA rules of origin ship duty-free into the United States. We confirm qualification at the quote stage and manage the certificates of origin as importer of record.
Among the common metal casting methods, sand casting is the least expensive for smaller batch runs, and it stays cost effective for large-part production thanks to low tooling cost.
We cast grey iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and brass. Our engineering team confirms the best alloy for your part at the feasibility review.
Standard production lead time is 4 to 8 weeks, with tooling and first-article timing confirmed at the quote stage. Mexico's proximity to the border shortens transit versus Asia-source programs. Rush programs can be reviewed case by case.
Our sand casting foundries are anchored in Monterrey. Nearshoring production to these locations keeps the supply chain inside North America, qualifies most castings for USMCA duty-free treatment, and puts the foundry within truck range of the U.S. border for short transit and practical foundry tours.
Truck transit from our Monterrey foundries to most U.S. destinations runs 2 to 4 days, far shorter than the multi-week ocean transit from Asia. We manage cross-border freight and customs clearance so castings move to your dock without a gap.
We manage customs clearance on the Mexico-to-U.S. crossing and provide USMCA certificates of origin where your part qualifies for duty-free treatment. Freight and any remaining duties are quoted up front so there are no invoice surprises.
Sand casting fits best when your part uses iron, steel, or another alloy and the geometry does not require the tighter tolerances of investment casting or die casting. It offers the lowest tooling cost, accepts almost any alloy, and has no practical part-size limit. The tradeoff is wider as-cast tolerances, so secondary machining is often added on critical features.
Non-uniform wall thickness is the most common cause. Inconsistent walls create uneven fill and cooling, leading to porosity, sink marks, and warpage. We review wall thickness during the DFM stage, run mold-flow analysis to find likely problem areas, and tune gating, risering, and pouring temperature before the run starts.
We catch issues before parts ship. If something does fail, the response is structured: a 100% sort of the affected lot, quarantine of nonconforming parts, root cause analysis, and corrective action verified to hold. Redstone guarantees every order and will repair, replace, or refund.
