Aluminium High Pressure
Die Casting
Find out more about what we do.
Designed for Product Designers & Procurement Teams
Die casting is a precision manufacturing process that turns your product designs into high- performance metal components, fast. Using high-pressure injection, molten metal is forced into steel moulds (dies), solidifying in seconds into complex, highly accurate parts. It’s one of the most efficient ways to move from concept to reality at production scale.
For product designers and procurement teams, die casting opens new possibilities: lower cost, repeatable quality, reduced carbon footprint, lightweight parts with fine details, excellent surface finish, and minimal post-processing.
With modern horizontal die casting machines and fully automated, computer-controlled production lines, we help you bring your designs to life with unmatched repeatability and efficiency.
Why Choose Aluminium High Pressure Die Casting
- Meet cost targets: Unit costs are low compared to machined components and with less material and secondary operations production efficiency is high.
- Achieve process capability: with repeatable dimensional accuracy, stringent capability targets >Ppk 1.33 are achieved consistently.
- Design freedom: Create complex geometries and fine features not easily achieved with machining or other processes.
- Thin-wall casting: Achieve wall sections as thin as 1–2.5 mm, perfect for compact, lightweight designs.
- Tight tolerances, high precision: Typical tolerances around 2mm/m with consistent dimensional accuracy across high volumes.
- Excellent surface finish: Smooth surface finishes (0.5–3 μm Ra) reduce the need for additional finishing.
- Strength in the as-cast state: Strong, durable parts straight out of the tool, no extensive post-processing needed.
