● You get 500-50,000 metal parts per year
● They must look clean out of the machine (no ugly machining marks)
● You hate paying for metal chips you throw away
● You need them lighter, thinner and 30-50 % cheaper than CNC
➡️Die casting is probably your answer.
Think of a waffle iron, but for metal.
We pour liquid aluminium (or zinc, or magnesium) into a reusable steel mould, squeeze it under high pressure for a few seconds, open the mould and pop-a finished part drops out. No carving, no chips, almost no waste.
| Sector | Part you know | Why buyers pick casting | 
| E-bikes & scooters |   Motor hub, battery tray |   40 % lighter, ready for powder coat | 
|   5G street cabinets |   Heat-sink fins 0.5 mm thin |   CNC would break the tiny fins | 
|   Solar inverters |   Liquid-cooling channels |   One-piece, no leaky welds | 
|   LED lights |   Lamp housing |   Smooth surface, lP66 ready | 
| Medical carts | Monitor arm bracket | Zero pores, can be anodised | 
| Power tools | Gear box | Survives 1 m drop at -20°C | 
| Die casting | CNC machining | |
| Tool cost |   $3,000-25,000 one-off | None | 
| Part cost | $0.40-4.00 |   $4-40 | 
| Annual qty that pays | 500+ | 1-500 | 
| Wall thickness | 0.8 mm possible |   1 mm+, but cost jumps | 
| Raw-material waste |   5 % | 60-90 % chips | 
| Surface out of machine | Ra 1-3 um (smooth) | Ra 0.5-1 um (extra passneeded) | 
| Delivery speed | 4-6 weeks tool, then days | 1-3 weeks every batch |

“ve heard castings leak.”
We vacuum the mould down to 5 mbar and X-ray every batch - porosityguarantee in writing.
“l only need 700 pcs first year."
We spread the tool cost over the PO -no giant upfront if you prefer.
“My drawing is still draft.”
Free DFM: we add draft angles, suggest thinner walls, delete unnecessarymachining.
