A casting starts with smart, thoughtful engineering. A well-designed product, optimized for the casting process, determines not only the technical feasibility, but also the quality, longevity and cost-effectiveness of the end result.
At BTC Castings, we combine advanced engineering with in-depth foundry knowledge to analyze, improve and prepare designs for production.
With modern software, years of practical experience and an integral view of the total casting process, our engineers ensure an optimal balance between design, functionality and manufacturability. From 3D modeling to casting simulations and from analyses to design optimization: we support you from initial idea to trouble-free casting.
Why engineering?
Professional engineering prevents mistakes, saves costs and improves the quality of each casting. A smart and well-thought-out design prevents waste, reduces rework, increases reproducibility and prevents problems in the casting process.
With technical analyses and accurate casting simulations, we highlight potential risks as early as the design phase. Think of air inclusions, shrinkage pores, flow problems or undesired tensions. Solving these at an early stage results in a technically sound design that can also be cast properly and optimally.
At BTC Castings, design engineers and foundry specialists work closely together. That means each design is tested against real-world conditions: material flow, wall thicknesses, tolerances, material properties and the ultimate purpose of the product. This is how we ensure a high-quality casting that can be produced consistently, reliably and cost-effectively.
Why BTC Heerenveen?
Over 200 years of experience
Our roots go back more than two centuries. By combining generations of craftsmanship with modern techniques, we deliver proven quality that organizations come back for again.
Custom casting
Whether it's large series, single piece prototypes or complex shapes: we think along technically, optimize the design and deliver castings that exactly meet your product specifications.
Fast communication
We keep the lines of communication short, respond quickly and plan efficiently. As a result, you know exactly where you stand and we can complete projects within tight deadlines.
This is how you become a customer
How we can help you
01
Contact
Everything starts with a question. Tell us about your challenge, product idea or technical specifications. We think directly with you about the possibilities. We think directly with you about possibilities, materials and technical requirements.
02
Product review
Our specialists analyze your requirements, advise on materials and casting methods, and draw up a concrete plan for your product. During this meeting, we discuss the design, desired quantities, tolerances and delivery times. If necessary, we advise on optimizations for better castability or more efficient production.
03
Execution and delivery
After agreement, we start the casting process. Our specialists ensure precise work, strict quality controls and safe, sustainable production. You will receive the castings on schedule and fully in accordance with the agreed specifications.

Do you have any questions?
Frequently asked questions about engineering
What software do you guys use?
We work with professional 3D CAD environments and advanced casting simulation packages such as MAGMA and similar systems.
Can you optimize my existing design?
Yes, we analyze existing designs and can modify them for better castability, less rework and higher reliability.
Is engineering mandatory for every casting?
Practically speaking: yes. Engineering prevents errors in production and ensures consistent quality, especially with complex or critical parts.
Can you make prototypes?
Sure. We create and optimize prototypes, single piece and series designs.
