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.
Extrusions
The manufacturing process in which the material is pushed through a die in the shape of the desired cross-section.Once the material has been pushed through the die it is then cooled with air or water to prevent warping.
This is a relatively simple process and due to the high quality of finish on the product after manufacture there is minimal need for secondary machining for finish.
Benefits to extrusions are its low cost (once tooling is complete) high volume, consistency and available to many materials.
The downsides are that the edges have to be uniform, for example you could not extrusion manufacture a pen as it narrows at one end.
