About Metal Casting Development LLC
Metal Casting Development LLC (MCD) is an independent engineering services company focused exclusively on the design, development, and delivery of cast metal components.
We support casting buyers, foundries, and OEMs working with complex, high-risk, or underperforming casting programs, providing practical engineering solutions from concept through production.
MCD was established to address a common reality in casting programs:
success depends not only on good design or capable suppliers, but on consistent technical alignment across design, tooling, process development, and production.
Our role is to provide that alignment.
Engineering-Led. Not Sales-Led.
MCD is not a sales agency, sourcing broker, or marketing representative.
Every engagement is led by hands-on casting and manufacturing engineering experience, with a focus on:
- Manufacturable component design
- Robust, repeatable processes
- Practical tooling and gating solutions
- Clear technical communication between all parties
We engage at the technical level — where problems actually originate — rather than managing issues after they appear on the shop floor.
Experience Across the Full Casting Lifecycle
MCD supports programs across the full lifecycle of cast components, including:
- Concept and feasibility studies
- Design-for-manufacture (DFM) and casting design
- Gating, feeding, and process development
- CFD-supported process validation
- Tooling development and launch support
- Production ramp-up and stabilization
- Quality issue resolution and corrective action
- Ongoing production optimization
Our experience spans aluminum and ferrous castings, structural and safety-critical components, and both prototype and high-volume production environments.
Practical, Direct, Accountable
MCD operates with a simple philosophy:
- Practical engineering over theory
- Direct communication over layered reporting
- Accountability over advisory distance
We work closely with customer engineering teams, suppliers, and manufacturing partners to ensure decisions are technically sound, clearly communicated, and executed effectively.
When on-site presence is required, we provide it.
When rapid decisions are needed, we support them.
Who We Support
MCD works with:
- OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers
- Casting buyers managing global supply chains
- North American and international foundries
- Manufacturing organizations facing launch, quality, or capacity challenges
Our engagements are typically driven by complexity, risk, or performance gaps — situations where generic consulting adds little value, but focused engineering support makes a measurable difference.
Focused on Better Castings, Better Processes, Better Outcomes
Metal Casting Development LLC exists to help organizations build better castings, launch more stable programs, and reduce risk across the casting supply chain.
Whether supporting a new program launch, recovering an underperforming process, or acting as a local technical presence, MCD delivers engineering-led solutions grounded in real manufacturing experience.
