What is diecasting?
Diecasting is a metal casting process in which molten metal is forced under high pressure into a mold cavity. It is efficient, economical and offers a broader range of shapes and components than any other manufacturing technique.
As well as producing durable, heat resistant parts with a long service life, diecasting is also a high-speed process which can deliver quick and accurate results in multiple finishes.
CNC Machining - Computer Numerical Control
This is a manufacturing process which takes your drawings from CAD (computer aided design software) and inputs them into the CNC machine or the electro-mechanical device then to machine to create your product, using a pre-programed computer software (CAM – Computer Aided Manufacturing).
Contrary to 3D printing which adds material to create a product, CNC Machining takes a solid and cuts away the parts needed by a 2, 3 or 5 axis.
Due to the use of CAD and CAM this allows for a much higher precision than any other process.
Unparalleled accuracy – tolerances as low as 0.0254mm or 25.4 µm.
There are five different types of CNC machining:
- CNC Milling Machine
- Electric Discharge Machines (EDM)
- Laser cutter
- Lathe
- Waterjet cutters
