KCR Series & K-CLP technology debuted at AIS Tech in May Pipe wear is more than a maintenance issue in harsh industrial environments. For facilities handling highly abrasive materials such as slag, ash, limestone, and similar bulk materials, internal pipe abrasion can severely reduce service life, leading to unplanned downtime, and higher replacement costs. Kimura’s

By Evan Miller, Design Engineer — Kimura Foundry America Lightweighting continues to be a priority across many industries, but thinner walls can introduce manufacturing challenges if not considered early in the design process. The engineering team at Kimura Foundry America has recently been testing new approaches to improve thin-wall casting performance. In May alone, new

Modern casting technology gives engineers more design freedom than ever before. With 3D-printed sand molds and cores, complex internal passages, organic geometries, and rapid design iterations are possible without the tooling constraints associated with traditional pattern-making. But greater freedom does not eliminate engineering tradeoffs. In many cases, it makes thoughtful decision-making even more important. Successful

Our New Yxlon UX-50 Scanner Scanning Improves Casting Confidence Yxlon UX-50 Sample Scan #1 Yxlon UX-50 Sample Scan #2 By Evan Miller, Design Engineer — Kimura Foundry America The engineering team is excited about the recent acquisition of our upgraded CT scanner, the Yxlon UX-50. This new system represents a major step forward in how

Today’s manufacturers and design engineers are facing enormous pressure to deliver high-quality components faster amidst a climate of global supply chain uncertainty. With tariffs in flux and international logistics growing less predictable, offshore sourcing now carries risks not only in cost, but also in project scheduling and delivery confidence. Shorter timelines and growing design complexity
