Post-Processing
We employ highly skilled CAD designers in our Sydney office, our teams speciality is focused solely in the jewellery industry, from off the shelf designs to complete be-spoke custom one off designs.
Once castings are completed and flasks are initially divested, we perform multi-level stages of post-processing including micro-vapour honing, flush cutting feeder sprues and flow gate removal to deliver your items ready for the bench as part of our standard post-processing services. This quality-first approach saves time, reduces billable gold, reduces gold loss and ensures superior results.
Post-Processing Details
Take Your Castings Further. Spend Less Time at the Bench.
At Hygrade Casting, post-processing is about more than simply clipping off a casting and handing it over to clients (also known as clip n ship). We combine skilled manual finishing with advanced OTEC precision finishing technology to reduce repetitive bench work, minimise precious-metal loss and deliver castings that are ready for the next stage of production.
Choose from three levels of post-processing services we provide, depending on how much finishing you want us to take care of.

For jewellery workshops, manufacturers and casting houses processing significant volumes, bringing the OTEC technology in-house may make more commercial sense.
