New Die Casting Products |
When a manufacturer is building a new product, they may find that a die casting part is a good fit for all or part of the application. The die casting process is capable making products with intricate shapes, thin walls and can meet pressure tight requirements. In higher volumes, die castings are very cost competitive due to their short cycle times relative to other processes. In designing a part intended for die casting, many different aspects of the part must be evaluated including wall thickness, draft, machining locator placement, etc. Working with an experienced die cast engineer early in the process can reduce cost and potential quality problems as normal issues are designed out of the product. Once a product is designed, tooling must be built. This may include:
After the die cast tooling has been manufactured, it must be sampled and tested to verify that it produces parts which meet product requirements. Basic has significant die casting experience and can assist manufacturers in this process to ensure that part deadlines are met in an economical fashion while meeting part quality and functional requirements. |
