Metal foundry and CNC machining
Our metal foundry and CNC department are characterised by quick delivery and high flexibility.
Our Italpresse TF 1350 can cast items up to 21,8 kg. The machine is installed in Skive, Danmark.
We specialise in light metal items, and with many years of experience, we offer professional guidance from construction to final product. With our production gathered in Denmark, we offer high flexibility and quick delivery.
Prototypes and production
At Idé-Pro, we offer different in-house manufacturing methods for items in light metal, including die casting, investment casting, machined from block, and a wide range of finishing processes. To offer the best production process, which meets the requirements concerning quantity, costs, and finish, we are in close dialogue with our customers throughout the entire process.
High pressure die casting
We are experts in die-casting technical items in aluminum, magnesium, zinc, and Duralcan®.
With a high capacity in the foundry, we can cast items up to 21,8 kg with a clamping force of up to 1350T. We can also cast wall thicknesses of 1 mm and have hot chamber zinc machines, where we cast items up to 3,4 kg, with immense speed and precision
All our casting machines are fully equipped with peripheral equipment, enabling us to always manufacture uniform items.
Prototypes
Due to our one-stop shop concept, we have a short lead time on projects.
Therefore, we can manufacture high-pressure die-casted prototypes in the right process and material, in just a few weeks. The prototypes have the same properties as items manufactured for production and can be used directly in the final construction, for crash testing, and for start-up production.

Production
The foundry is staffed 24/7 and optimised so that we are highly competitive in terms of delivery and pricing for production items.
Investment Casting
The Investment Casting process is perfect for rapid manufacturing of metal parts in aluminum, magnesium, and zinc. Since Investment Casting allows for a great deal of design freedom, this process is perfect for producing complicated parts that are impossible to cast using traditional casting methods.
Delivery time: 1 - 2 weeks.
For projects requiring high-speed delivery, we can 3D print items with a high degree of detail.
Machined from block (CNC)
In our CNC department, we offer items machined from block. This is optimal for complicated items with fine tolerances, small amount, and testing.
Materials and alloys
We stock a wide selection of light metals and always strive to recommend the right choice of material for you.
- Aluminum is the most used material. It is a cheap material that is easy to work with
- Magnesium provides a nice finish and is a lighter material compared to aluminum. Therefore, it is used in items requiring a lower weight
- Brass is an alloy that comes from mixing copper and zinc. It is used e.g. for pipes and cartridge
- Zinc is heavier and can e.g. be used in items where a higher weight signals higher quality. Further, zinc is very durable and therefore often used for hinges, fittings, etc.
- We offer manufacturing in Duralcan®, a very durable material.
