Revenue model

1. Custom Sand and Investment Castings: Fisher Cast Steel manufactures custom stainless steel, carbon steel, and specialty alloy castings to customer and ASTM specifications. Castings range from 1 oz to 8,500 lbs. Revenue is generated through one-time purchase orders for custom parts, with pricing based on estimated weights, material surcharges, and additional services like certification and packaging.
2. Value-Added Services: Additional revenue streams include engineering design assistance, pattern/tooling manufacturing, heat treatment, machining (rough and finished), non-destructive testing (NDT), and certifications. These services are quoted separately and billed as part of the overall casting project.
3. Pattern and Tooling Manufacturing: Fisher manufactures patterns and tooling for customers who need them, including wood, urethane, aluminum, polystyrene, and 3-D printed options. Pattern storage and handling are subject to separate charges.

Core offering

Fisher Cast Steel is a custom sand (no-bake) and investment (lost-wax) casting foundry producing stainless steel, carbon steel, nickel-based, duplex, and specialty alloy castings ranging from 1 oz to 8,500 lbs. The company provides turnkey services from engineering design and pattern making through melting, casting, heat treatment, machining, and non-destructive testing for industrial customers in pump & valve, power generation, aerospace tooling, industrial equipment, and pulp & paper sectors.

Product overview

Fisher Cast Steel is an employee-owned sand and investment casting foundry serving diverse industries including pump & valve, power generation, aerospace tooling, industrial equipment, and pulp & paper. The company operates two primary casting product lines: Sand Casting (sand/no-bake process for parts 1 oz to 8,500 lbs) and Investment Casting (lost wax process for parts up to 30 lbs). Value-added services include Toolmaking & Patterns, Prototype/Short-Run Castings, Machining, and Engineering & Technologies using MAGMASOFT simulation and Solidworks CAD. The company pours a wide range of materials including corrosion-resistant stainless steels, heat-resistant alloys, nickel-based alloys, duplex stainless, carbon and low alloy steels, tool steels, and cobalt/stellite alloys.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Sand Casting Custom sand/no-bake casting producing small and large stainless and carbon steel castings in a wide range of alloys, with coreless induction furnaces pouring up to 11,500 lbs at one time and in-house heat treatment capabilities. Serves industrial OEM customers in pump & valve, power generation, aerospace tooling, industrial equipment, and pulp & paper sectors.
• Investment Casting Lost wax/investment casting producing castings in stainless alloys, duplex, cobalt, invar, nickel-based and other alloys with tight tolerances and desirable surface finish. Casting weights generally 0 to 30 lbs. Used by industrial OEMs needing higher precision and finish than sand casting.
• Toolmaking & Patterns In-house and outsourced pattern making services including CNC or hand-cut patterns in wood, urethane, aluminum, polystyrene, and 3D-printed molds and cores. Sold as a standalone value-added service to casting customers who need tooling.
• Prototype/Short-Run Castings Prototype and short-run casting services using CNC-cut polystyrene, Styrofoam patterns, and 3D-printed molds and cores to reduce lead time and cost. Available to industrial customers needing small batches or test castings before full production runs.
• Machining Rough and finished machined castings with large and small turning and milling CNC capabilities, handling sizes from pounds to thousands of pounds with diameters and lengths from 1 inch to over 100 inches. Faro Arm, CMM, and measurement gauges ensure dimensional accuracy. Sold as a standalone finishing service to casting customers.
