Sub Insert
Sub Inserts from Vyankatesh Engineering are fast-track die inserts manufactured to full dimensional and material quality standards, used to validate a new casting design before committing to production tooling. Whether you need a single test insert to verify a critical geometry, or a short run of inserts to produce pre-production samples for customer approval, we provide the same material quality (AISI H-13 / DIN 1.2344), the same heat treatment process, and the same inspection standards as our production tooling — delivered on an accelerated timescale.
