Bespoke casting in bronze, brass and aluminium

Bespoke casting

Your design.
Cast in metal.

From a sketch, model or 3D file to a finished casting in bronze, brass, aluminium or copper. In our foundry in Soest, the Netherlands, we combine craftsmanship, engineering and digital techniques for art, interiors and technical components.

Frequently asked questions

View all questions and answers
I have an idea but no drawing. Where should I start?

Send a short description and whatever you have: a sketch, photograph, reference or physical model. Include approximate dimensions and the intended use. We discuss what needs developing before a model or mould is made.

What determines the price of a custom metal casting?

The price includes preparation and model making, mould construction, the chosen metal, quantity and finishing. Size and complexity also matter. Send the design, dimensions and quantity so we can assess the work needed for a tailored proposal.

Can I commission a single sculpture or component without a large production run?

Yes, you can discuss a one-off object, prototype or small series. There is no fixed quantity suitable for every design. Model making, moulds, size and finish determine the approach. Let us know if you expect to order more pieces later.

Can you reproduce a missing or damaged component?

An original, fragment or matching component can be the starting point. Send overall and close-up photographs, dimensions and details of the application. We consider repair, 3D scanning, modelling or replacement casting. Permission to reproduce the design must be clear.

I have a target completion date. When should I contact you?

Contact us as soon as the shape, purpose or initial idea is clear and mention your target date. We discuss preparation, any model checks, casting and finishing. A delivery date is agreed only after assessing the design and our schedule.
