Who we are
Advanced Casting Technologies LLC (ACT) is the UAE’s first and only dedicated precision casting facility, formed as a strategic joint venture between Al Darmaki Group (UAE) and Microfound (Italy). Established under the Tawazun Economic Program, ACT brings European expertise and local vision together to elevate industrial capabilities in the UAE and wider GCC.
Our Mission
To transform the UAE’s industrial landscape by delivering superior casting solutions through World-class technology, quality, and performance.
Our Vision
To be the MENA region’s most advanced and trusted precision casting partner, empowering industries with local manufacturing excellence that meets and exceeds global standards.
Our Strategic Partner
The technological partner of ACT is a well-known brand in the field of precision casting and constitutes the starting backbone of the Company know-how. Based in Reggio Emilia, at the core of the Italian district of manufacturing excellency, Microfound boasts several decades of experience in the manufacturing of cast components for premium sectors such as motorsports, oil&gas, transport and fluid dynamics.
End-to-End Precision Casting Solutions
At ACT, we offer an integrated suite of precision casting services tailored for the world’s most demanding industries. Our capabilities span the full production lifecycle from engineering to prototyping, casting, finishing and testing.
Our processes are designed to meet exacting specifications and tight tolerances across aerospace, defence, energy, and medical applications.
By pairing the advantages of modern investment casting practice to cutting edge technologies such as 3D printing of wax models, we can provide both reliable cast-metal prototypes in few days, and big batches of parts, with the best-in-market cost effectiveness and quality.
Precision casting, also known as “Investment Casting,” or “Lost-wax precision casting,” is the perfect technology to obtain, with a single process, components with complex geometries and challenging mechanical properties in difficult-to-work materials, to eliminate mechanical machining and replace mechanical welding steps.
How to?
The process consists of creating a dedicated mould for each product, whose casting cavity represents the final shape and surface finishing of the desired component.
We build each mould by dipping a wax model of the component into a coating agent of creamy consistency, which will then solidify and become a thick refractory crust.
The wax is easily removed from the refractory shell, as it melts at a moderate temperature. At this point, the liquid metal is poured directly into the cavity, to form the part. The brittle crust is then broken to free the cast component.
Vacuum Investment Casting
Special steel components are mostly produced by conventional induction furnaces where the liquid metal could be partially exposed to the air, oxidizing some of its most sensitive elements.
Nevertheless, by employing Vacuum Induction Casting technology, ACT also produces special components made from nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys. The process enables the manufacturing of mission-critical parts that exhibit superior resistance to temperature, stress, and corrosion.
Our Vacuum furnace can process casting assemblies for equiaxed-grain metallurgy, with max dimensions of approx. 600 x 600mm and 80kg of cast weight (based on Ni alloy density)
Design & Co-Engineering
From the idea to the realization of the part: ACT is a partner that co-designs the component with the customer, so that the project can exploit all the potential of the precision casting process.
Our in-house team supports CAD development, casting simulation, and performance optimization before manufacturing begins.
Rapid Prototyping
By leveraging 3D printing technologies to create sacrificial wax prototypes, all in all equivalents to those made by die-injection, we provide samples or pre-series cast components in record time. Therefore, we accelerate validation and time-to-market of our customers by skipping the traditional moulding work.
The cast prototypes produced in this way boast all the benefits of the casting process, both as metallurgical quality and mechanical properties
Quality control & Reverse Engineering
Our products are controlled with different degrees of accuracy, to meet the specified requirements of both geometrical tolerance and soundness.
Moreover, our 3D-scanning and CMM capabilities can also support us for projects of reverse engineering, such as to develop spare parts or upgrades for obsolete equipment.
Machining &
Finishing
ACT delivers components ready for integration with full finishing services such as casting runners’ cutout, shot peening and deburring.
Our process ensures tight dimensional accuracy and optimal surface finish.
