Processes & MaterialsDie Casting Mould
Metal parts from the tool room that also cuts plastic tooling
Wisdom Industrial · since 2012
Overview
Die casting tooling in aluminium, zinc and aluminium-magnesium alloys, built by a tool room whose main business is precision injection moulds. The same steel discipline applies, which is why die cast tooling from a mould house tends to hold its dimensions longer than tooling from a general foundry supplier.
Problems
What This Fixes
- A part that has to be metal but is being quoted by plastic moulders
- Die cast tooling sourced separately from the plastic tooling for the same product
- Alloy selection made by the caster rather than against the application
- Cast parts needing machining and finishing at yet another vendor
Benefits
What You Get
- Three listed alloy families: aluminium, zinc and aluminium-magnesium
- Tooling built in the same room as our precision injection moulds
- CNC machining available for post-cast operations on the same site
- Anodizing, plating and painting available as post-treatment
Who For
Suited To
- Product teams with mixed metal and plastic bills of materials
- Buyers consolidating die cast and injection tooling with one supplier
- Engineers converting a machined part to a cast one for volume
Scenarios
Typical Jobs
- A structural housing converted from machined aluminium to die cast
- A metal chassis cast and then machined on critical features
- A product with cast metal and moulded plastic parts from one supplier
Technical
How It Runs
- Tooling for aluminium, zinc and aluminium-magnesium alloy casting
- Post-cast CNC machining available in-house
- Surface finishing through anodizing, plating and painting
- Same DFM and tool review discipline applied as to injection tooling

Order Process
How This Job Would Run
The same eight stages apply whether the order is a single tool or a production programme.
Request A Quote
Send the part drawing or 3D file by email. An engineer comes back within 24 hours with a consultation, not an auto-reply.
DFM Report
Before any steel is cut we return a design-for-manufacture report that flags flaws and errors in the design, so they are fixed on paper.
Mould Design & Moldflow
A predictive model analyses how the molten material behaves inside the cavity. Flow analysis settles gating and cooling before tooling.
Mould Tooling Production
Tooling is cut from the steel grade chosen for the application, not from whatever is on the rack.
T1 Sample Inspection
First-trial samples go out for your inspection and review. Errors are identified on T1, before mass production is committed.
Low Volume Production
A low-volume run follows the trial phase, so precision is proven on real machines under expert surveillance before the ramp.
Strict Inspection
Parts are inspected against international tolerance standards and against the specification you supplied.
Delivery
Parts are packaged to survive the journey and released through our logistics partners on a scheduled delivery.
Questions
About Die Casting Mould
Which alloys do you cast?
Aluminium alloy, zinc alloy and aluminium-magnesium alloy are the listed materials for our die casting tooling.
Can you machine the castings afterwards?
Yes. CNC machining runs on the same site, so critical features can be finished without moving the parts to another vendor.
Can you quote plastic and die cast tooling together?
Yes, and that is usually the reason customers bring both here. Send the full bill of materials rather than the metal parts alone.
