Die Casting / Vacuum Casting
Aluminum / Zinc Alloy Die Casting + Silicone Mold Vacuum Casting, 1-50 pieces low-volume validation, no injection mold tooling cost.
Vacuum Casting (Silicone Mold)
Using a master model made by 3D printing or CNC machining to create a silicone mold, then casting PU resin under vacuum. One set of silicone mold can replicate 15-20 pieces, with a mold-making lead time of only 5-7 days. It is the best validation solution before transitioning to injection molding mass production.
- Quantity: 1-50 pieces per silicone mold set
- Lead Time: 5-7 working days
- Materials: ABS-like / PC / PP / TPU soft rubber / Transparent hard plastic / Silicone-like
- Color: Customizable to any RAL / Pantone, integral coloring or painting
Die Casting (Metal Casting)
Molten metal is injected into a steel mold under high pressure, then cooled to produce metal parts with smooth surfaces and precise dimensions. Suitable for high-volume metal parts such as phone mid-frames, automotive structural parts, and mechanical housings.
- Alloys: ADC12 / A380 aluminum alloy, Zamak 3/5 zinc alloy, AM50 magnesium alloy
- Die Casting Machines: 280T – 1600T cold chamber die casting machines
- Precision: CT5-CT7 grade, complex parts can be formed in one shot
- Post-Processing: CNC finishing of mating surfaces, polishing, anodizing, powder coating, electroplating
When to Choose Which
- 1-50 pieces appearance validation, plastic pre-production → Choose Vacuum Casting (Silicone Mold)
- 1,000-100,000 pieces metal housing mass production → Choose Die Casting
- Low budget / Urgent samples needed → Vacuum Casting (costs only 1/10 of injection mold tooling)
- Need metal strength → Die Casting or CNC (CNC suitable for 1-100 pieces)
