Die Casting Mold Making
Aluminum die casting tooling built alongside our injection mold work
Die Casting Mold Making
Die casting mold making is one of the six services we have listed since we started exporting. It uses the same design discipline, the same CNC and EDM equipment and the same inspection route as our injection tooling.
- Injection and die casting tooling from one source
- The same written DFM discipline applied to die work
- Machining and inspection on shared precision equipment
- A single point of contact for mixed tooling packages
How Die Casting Mold Making Runs
Die layout
The die is laid out in full 3D and reviewed with you before fabrication.
Steel and treatment
Material is inspected on arrival with hardness inspection and certification.
Machining
Cavity and core work is machined and inspected dimensionally.
Assembly and trial
The die is assembled and tried, with a report issued on the result.
Final inspection
Final die inspection and packing inspection before shipment.
The Rest of the Engineering
Mold Design
Full 3D mold design completed to one hundred percent and reviewed before it reaches you
DFM Study
A written design for manufacture study submitted on every mold before fabrication
MoldFlow Analysis
Practical MoldFlow study applied to mass production molds to remove defects in advance
Mold Making
CNC EDM grinding and CMM equipped mold manufacture since 2011
Rapid Prototype Molds
Low cost fast lead time tooling for the stage before a production mold
Injection Molding Production
Production molding on the tools we build for customers who want parts not just a mold
Die Casting Mold Making — Common Questions
Is die casting mold making included in the mold price?
It is part of how we build molds rather than an item sold separately. Where you want it as a stand-alone service, say so in the enquiry and we will quote it that way.
What do you need from us to start?
3D part data in STEP, IGES, Parasolid, CATIA or SolidWorks, the resin, the expected annual volume and your mold standard if you have one.
How long does it take?
The quotation comes back within two working days. The engineering itself runs against the project schedule agreed in that quotation. Specific durations: TBC per project.
Who will we be dealing with?
Our engineering team, which has been trained on customer mold standards and corresponds in English. Response is no later than 24 hours.
