Welcome to Clinkenbeard
Clinkenbeard is the worldwide leader in the rapid production of complex cast and machined parts using a wide variety of plastics and metals. We couldn't find a word in the American dictionary which accurately defined the speed at which we do business, so we developed a prototype...Fasterestest. We think it fits perfectly.
Time to market is a critical measurement for today's OEM. It determines how efficient and effective manufacturers are in developing, implementing and producing ideas.
The Clinkenbeard® Toolingless Process is industry reknown for producing metal castings efficiently, affordably and extremely fast. The process is based on machining sand cores and molds without the expense of tooling. All machining is done using CNC, which produces superior speed and accuracy.
Clinkenbeard’s “Fasterestest” Lead Times Reflect an Industry in Transition and are Spotlighted in the June Issue of Foundry Management and Technology
An article published in the June 2009 issue of Foundry Management and Technology declares an industry in evolution. The article asserts that speed to market is increasingly becoming an essential measure of success for rapid manufacturing and rapid prototyping companies. . .and their customers.

Clinkenbeard Named "Best in Class" by Aerospace eBusiness for its Use of Social Media at Paris Air Show
According to Aerospace eBusiness, “Most of the big companies used Twitter in a ‘traditional’ way, simply as a relay for the press releases they had posted elsewhere. However, there were two exceptions. GE started using their accounts early and was very active on the community boards and other social media outlets well before the show started. Clinkenbeard, a small US manufacturer of complex cast and machined parts, was the best user of the medium in the industry class and was rewarded with great coverage including a television spot http://www.wrex.com/Global/story.asp?s=10565408 back in Illinois.”
