AuraMaia Advanced Manufacturing today announced the successful commissioning of a new, fully automated low-pressure casting cell at its core production facility, marking a strategic $5M investment to significantly boost its capacity for complex, thin-walled aluminum components.

This expansion directly addresses the surging global demand from the electric and hybrid vehicle sector, where lightweighting and thermal management are critical. The new cell, featuring robotic integration and real-time process monitoring, increases the company’s annual aluminum casting output by 40% and enhances its ability to produce large-scale, structural components like battery tray assemblies and electric motor housings with superior consistency.

“Integrating advanced casting capabilities alongside our established vibration damping lines is a key competitive advantage,” said the Plant Director. “This investment isn’t just about more capacity; it’s about deeper vertical integration. We can now co-engineer and produce both the high-stress castings and the precision dampers for a powertrain under one roof, offering our clients unparalleled control over quality, timeline, and total system performance.”

The expansion also includes the installation of an additional 3D scanning station for first-article inspection, ensuring that every complex geometry meets exact digital specifications before volume production begins.
