Coremaking shop

Dossmann manufactures cores both for its own production and for outside customers. The cores form the heart of the casting, enabling almost unlimited design possibilities in the casting process.

Manual core production

Core production is carried out using the same process as in the manual moulding shop, using furan resin cores with a volume of up to 1,500 litres. The production of these manually filled cores demands great specialist skill. On the one hand, we must achieve good stability, while at the same time ensuring reliable gas extraction.
Cores form the heart of a casting. They form the cavities in the later cast part which are necessary for undercutting. Without these, it would not be possible to achieve the wide variety of design possibilities available to casting.
