Sylatech

Design and manufacturing services for the delivery of lost wax casting, RF/Microwave engineering, and CNC machining.

[Sylatech @SylatechLtd]

Sylatech’s lost wax process commences with the design and manufacture of a tool by our in-house tooling team. Tool bodies are made from aluminium and typically moving parts in the tool are produced in brass or steel to prolong life and maintain accuracy.

With modest tooling costs compared to other processes, and a unique manufacturing process capability, our engineers would welcome the opportunity to discuss your project requirements. Contact us at [email protected], 01751 432 355.

We are excited to announce that Sylatech is exhibiting at Advanced Engineering 2025 on 29th & 30th October! Join us on stand L204 to explore our innovative hybrid additive solution, which combines investment casting with additive manufacturing to enable the production of complex geometric shapes at true production volumes.

Our team looks forward to connecting with industry leaders, discussing new innovations, and showcasing how our approach is advancing manufacturing capability.

Contact us at [email protected] if you'd like to schedule a visit from our team at the show.

Sustainability and reduced carbon impact are now central to modern engineering design. This prototype micromobility chassis, designed by Metamorphic AM and cast by Sylatech Limited, exemplifies these principles.

Utilising a naturally pressurised runner system and a generic form, the chassis supports the advancement of 3D printed sand moulding techniques in collaboration with voxeljet AG. Our hybrid approach to additive manufacturing enables geometric design freedom, process efficiency, and scalable production — all while aligning with core sustainability objectives

Whilst several decades have passed since the formation of our business in the sixties, our core engineering principles remain solid. Here’s a look back at two ex-colleagues, both skilled engineers, in the 1970s turning aluminium parts on Colchester Student and Colchester Chipmaster manual lathes — long before CNC machines appeared on the scene within our business. We are proud of our heritage and excited about where we’re going.

With our team having recently returned from the 2025 Southern Manufacturing Exhibition, the event was an immersive experience of the engineering world, which brought together a wide spectrum of exhibitors, engineering professionals, innovators, academics and enthusiasts. Whilst pre-exhibition there is always a slight concern about the visitor numbers and the return on investment, pleasingly the numbers this year were high, and the interest in our capability was very strong.

Whilst some consider casting as a traditional method being challenged by additive manufacturing, and we were delighted to demonstrate how Sylatech’s hybrid additive manufacturing solution delivers parts with complex geometries at volume.

Overall, we reflect on the event as being extremely positive for Sylatech, with our team being kept very busy throughout its duration, and with a good haul of leads to follow up on. Amusingly it was our stunning, highly intricate, cast Romanesco Broccoli that really stole the show!

We are delighted to announce that Sylatech will be exhibiting at this year’s Southern Manufacturing show in Farnborough, from the 4th February until the 6th. We’ll be showcasing our innovative lost-wax casting and additive manufacturing solutions, which can produce highly geometrically complex parts, in production volumes.

You can find Sylatech on stand H80.

Should you wish to arrange a face-to-face meeting, or have any requests ahead of the show, please contact us via [email protected] or [phone].

We never tire of searching our archives, and finding photographs of developments that led us to where our capability lies today. This throwback Thursday post dates back to 1994, with the foundry crew pouring MB1, and pulling a vacuum through the plaster mould material.

Whilst casting, in its many forms, has been used for thousands of years, by integrating additive manufacturing, Sylatech has formed a hybrid process enabling AM design freedom and complexity, with Sylatech’s casting process reliability and delivers volume production capacity.

Last week we were delighted to achieve a Highly Commended award at The Cast Metals Federation, CMF Industry Awards 2024 event.

Whilst we did not quite repeat last year's success, the judges presented Sylatech with a highly commended award, for our work with a highly complex braided mixer casting. The judges hailed the success of the casting, which has led to new work with Metamorphic AM, Photocentric and automotive manufacturers.

The component results are helping to re-establish casting as the sustainable process of choice, for the design and volume production of complex parts requiring excellent surface finish. The exceptional capability of Sylatech’s casting process challenges the self-perpetuating messaging around metal additive manufacturing.

Well done to all those involved!

As we continue through 2024 reflecting on our 60 years in business, it is interesting to reflect on photographs from our archive of equipment that we first commissioned in our early days. This Jones and Shipman surface grinder dating back to the 1960’s, incredibly remains fully operational in our factory today. Clearly equipment that is built to last!
