At Watry Industries, our legacy of innovation in aluminum casting spans more than six decades. As one of the most technologically advanced aluminum foundries in the United States, we’ve earned our reputation through a relentless commitment to precision, automation, and customer satisfaction. Our capabilities include a broad range of casting methods, with particular expertise in semi-permanent mold aluminum casting.
Whether you’re an engineer sourcing for complex geometries or a buyer seeking consistent quality and short lead times, Watry Industries stands out as a trusted partner in semi-permanent mold aluminum castings. We proudly serve global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across diverse industries from our advanced 271,800-square-foot facility in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Semi-Permanent mold aluminum casting is a hybrid process that combines the reusability of permanent molds with the design flexibility of expendable sand cores. In this method, a durable metal mold forms the external surfaces of a part, while sand or other expendable cores are used to form internal cavities or complex geometries.
This process is ideal when designs require internal passages, undercuts, or features that cannot be easily formed with permanent molds alone. The result is a cast product with excellent dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and structural integrity—without compromising complexity.
While permanent mold casting is optimal for high-volume, simpler designs where speed and durability are the top priorities, Semi-Permanent mold casting is a better fit for:
The versatility of this process makes it ideal for customers who need a balance between structural performance, dimensional precision, and design complexity.
