company offers a variety of standardized components, like universal pin connectors, that are used in a wide range of buildings, including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. “From an architectural perspective, we can create geom-


etries and connections that offer very different aesthetics than one could achieve by fabricating connections from welded platework,” de Oliveira said. Metalcasting also brings structural advantages as well, like a smooth force transfer between different shapes. “Ultimately, we can put the material where it ought to


be for the flow of forces through the structural component, rather than trying to build up or stiffen platework. We lit- erally shape the part as nature would shape it,” de Oliveira said. “When you do that, you often end up with something that looks very elegant. So we leverage the geometric free- dom that casting offers to improve structural performance and also to improve the aesthetic quality of connections.” In the Ashe project, Cast Connex turned to Bradken


and its Atchison, Kansas, facility for tooling, casting pro- duction and machining. Te two companies had worked together in the past, and based on their strong professional relationship and the size and complexity of the part, Brad- ken was the right facility for Cast Connex. “It’s increasingly difficult to have those relation- ships today when so many people try to commoditize an engineered component,” said Wayne Braun, director of business development – industrial products, Brad- ken. “Te value added to that relationship put forward co-designing the component to yield the best results and lowest cost of quality.” Te components were cast via the nobake sand cast-
