Custom
Die Casting Service
for Precision Applications

The total cost consists of three main parts: tooling, raw materials, and production labor. The upfront tooling (mold) fee is the largest expense, but it pays off in high-volume production.

Among the three processes we support, hot chamber die casting is the most cost-effective due to faster cycle times and longer mold life, though it is limited to low-melting-point alloys like zinc. Cold chamber is standard for aluminum, while vacuum die casting is the most expensive but necessary for eliminating porosity in high-strength structural parts.

The first thing you must decide is the material, as the metal dictates the machine type. Other key factors include your part’s mechanical strength requirements, cosmetic needs, and budget. You don’t need to be a casting expert—submit your design, and our engineering team will evaluate your application and select the most efficient process for you.

We focus on the three most common and reliable commercial alloys:

• Aluminum Alloy: Excellent strength-to-weight ratio and high operating temperatures.
• Zinc Alloy: Superior castability, high precision, and easy to plate or paint.
• Magnesium Alloy: The lightest structural metal available, with outstanding machinability.

Our standard “as-cast” tolerance is ±0.05 mm to ± 0.1mm, depending on the size and geometry of the part. If your design requires tighter precision for assembly, we achieve it through post-casting CNC machining.

While die casting is highly efficient, there are physical constraints to keep in mind:

• Shape: Designs with deep undercuts or completely enclosed hollow spaces are difficult or impossible to cast without complex, expensive mold sliders.
• Weight: Parts are limited by the clamping force (tonnage) of the machines. Extremely heavy solid blocks are better suited for other processes.
• Thickness: Thick, uneven walls lead to shrinkage and air pockets. Uniform wall thickness is required for structural integrity.

We handle a wide range of sizes. We can cast precision micro-parts weighing as little as 5 grams, all the way up to large automotive or telecom housings weighing up to 20 kilograms.

To give you a precise manufacturing cost, we need:

• 3D CAD Model: STEP (.stp) or IGES (.igs) format.
• 2D Drawing: PDF format calling out critical tolerances and surface finish requirements.
• Material: Specific alloy grade (e.g., A380, ADC12, Zamak 3).
• Volume: Estimated order quantity or annual volume.

We provide a complete, turnkey service so you don’t have to manage multiple vendors. Once the raw part is cast, we handle essential secondary operations in-house, such as precision CNC machining, tapping, and threading. By combining our own production capabilities with our established supply chain network, we can offer almost any surface finish available on the market—including powder coating, electroplating, anodizing, painting, sandblasting, and more.
