Quality You Can Trust
Our commitment to quality is the foundation of every pour. Through advanced testing, process control, and continuous improvement, Anderson Foundries ensures every casting meets exact standards for performance and durability.
- Weekly sand tests for metallics, grain fineness number, ignition test loss, tensile strength, sand chemical calibrations
- Melt lab analysis to control metal composition
- Liquid metal temperature testing
- Material testing & metallurgical analysis
- Visual work instructions for each casting to ensure conformance
- All foundries are ISO 9001 compliant. Muncie Castings is 9001 certified.
Our Capabilities
We don’t just manufacture castings. We build relationships that last. Our team’s engineering mindset, responsiveness, and commitment to quality set us apart. Every project is backed by American-made pride and a partner-first approach.
Engineering Design
Our advanced engineering services combine 3D CAD modeling and MAGMA solidification simulation to deliver precision, efficiency, and confidence from the start. By identifying potential issues early in the design and tooling stages, we dramatically reduce downstream scrap, shorten lead times, and ensure you receive high-quality, production-ready castings faster than ever before.
Pattern Building & Tooling Production
Our pattern-building and tooling production services set the benchmark for innovation and precision. From rapid prototyping to 3D sand printing, we utilize cutting-edge processes to create accurate, durable tooling that shortens lead times, improves casting quality, and streamlines your path from concept to production.
Our investment in ExOne 3D sand printing technology represents a major leap forward in pattern and mold production, setting us apart as an industry leader in speed, precision, and innovation.
Grey & Ductile Iron Castings
Dakota Foundry produces grey and ductile iron castings from ounces up to 5,000 lb. Gray iron (2–4% carbon with graphite flakes) offers great machinability, compressive strength, heat transfer, and vibration damping; we pour classes 30, 35, 40, and 45 at 30–45 ksi tensile and 170–255 BHN. Ductile iron (graphite nodules) delivers steel-like strength and toughness with better ductility; we pour grades 60-40-18, 65-45-12, and 80-55-06 at 60–80 ksi tensile, 40–55 ksi yield, 6–18% elongation, and 143–255 BHN.

Aluminum Castings
From small aluminum components to large-scale iron castings, our facilities are equipped to handle projects of every size and complexity.
Up to 400 pounds pour weight.
Our Value Added Services
We don’t just manufacture castings—we also offer in-house machining and powdercoating to deliver ready-to-run parts, backed by an engineering mindset, responsive service, American-made pride, and a partner-first approach.
Machining Services
Our in-house machining capabilities deliver precision and efficiency from start to finish. Using advanced CNC equipment, we ensure every casting meets exact tolerances and is ready for assembly or final application.
Powdercoating Services
We offer durable, high-performance powder coating that provides superior corrosion resistance and a flawless finish. Each part is coated to withstand harsh environments while maintaining lasting color and protection.
Let's Make Castings.
Steel mills. Farm fields. Job sites. Factories.
If it’s built to last, it needs castings that are made right.
At Anderson Foundries, we pour grey iron, ductile iron, and aluminum castings with old-school grit and modern control. From prototype to production runs, we move fast, hit spec, and stand behind every casting.

"From quote to delivery, the turnaround time was shockingly fast without sacrificing quality. They hit every deadline, kept us updated, and allowed us to keep our production line moving, exactly what we need from a manufacturing partner."
"The quality of the castings we received exceeded every expectation. Tight tolerances, smooth finishes, and consistency across the entire run. It’s rare to find this level of craftsmanship in today’s market, and it’s exactly why we keep coming back."
"Working with Dakota Foundry, Muncie Castings, and Spartan Pattern has been the easiest vendor experience we’ve had in years. Their team communicates clearly, solves problems proactively, and treats our project like it actually matters. True partners in every sense."
"We’ve worked with a lot of foundries and pattern shops over the years, but none match the professionalism and reliability of this team. They deliver exactly what they promise, stand behind their work, and make the entire process (from design to finished casting) truly seamless."
