What does our U.S. pattern shop and pattern inventory mean for you?

Columbia Steel’s skilled craftspeople and thousands of in-stock crusher wear part patterns are at your service. With decades of wear part engineering and manufacturing expertise, we can often offer customers existing OEM designs, or patterns with custom modifications, to help reduce development costs and turnaround while meeting their productivity challenges.

Our fully equipped in-house pattern shop makes us unique among today’s domestic foundries.

Translating engineering concepts into foundry-ready reality is the work of Columbia’s pattern makers. These craftspeople do more than shape wood and plastic — they carefully consider a wide variety of production issues, from alloys to shrinkage rates, from machining tolerances to cores for complex hollow parts.

The sheer size of our products is a special challenge, requiring large woodworking equipment and attention to structural and dimensional concerns. The success of our pattern shop can be measured in part by the tremendous volume of patterns stored on site: currently over 24,000, with as many as 2,000 designs added each year. Our facility devotes 115,000 square feet to warehousing these ready-to-use and customizable pieces. Whether using an existing pattern, making changes to a pattern or producing a new one, our in-house pattern shop assures shorter lead times and consistent quality parts for our customers.
