Investment Casting Solutions for Military & Defense

Built to scale, IPC combines fully automated shell-forming with high-capacity pouring to meet high-demand defense production schedules without sacrificing precision.

• Automated Shell & Wax Production: Automated, "lights-out" ceramic dipping paired with Level 5 high-volume wax injection systems for maximum consistency and cycle speed.

• In-House Tooling: Custom tooling designed and maintained on-site to reduce lead times and optimize part quality from day one.

• Alloys for Any Application: Extensive pouring capabilities covering dozens of high-demand defense alloys, with air-melt pouring capacities up to 150 lbs.

• Cutoff and Grinding:
  Integrated automated cutoff and grinding operations to increase throughput.

• Seamless Finishing Work:
  Access to a full suite of secondary operations like plating, painting, heat treating, anodizing, and more.

IPC delivers high-capacity production utilizing up to 4-axis horizontal and vertical milling centers alongside advanced Swiss lathes. Because we tackle casting and machining in-house, you can seamlessly transition from foundry to finishing without third-party delays, middleman markups, or compliance gaps. Tackle everything in one place, including:

• Multi-Axis Milling: 4-axis horizontal and vertical milling centers for complex, tight-tolerance geometries.

• Swiss Lathe Turning: High-capacity Swiss lathes engineered for high-speed, intricate hardware.

• Finishing: Precision surface grinding, automated sawing, access to secondary ops like plating & anodizing, plus CMM quality verification.

Quickly test materials and iterate on designs with the IPC Team. We offer in-house engineering and help optimize your parts for casting.

With more than 45 years of industry experience, IPC has robust QA and QC systems in place to ensure your parts meet even the strictest military standards. Our end-to-end quality framework ensures defect prevention, full material integrity, and absolute repeatability across every production run. We also offer:

• Flow Analysis

• Non-destructive testing via verified/validated suppliers.

• Full traceability for every part

We offer stocking programs that hold finished inventory in reserve, enabling you to access parts on demand, reduce lead times, and shield your production lines from supply chain disruptions.
