What exactly is the die casting process — and what sets it apart?
Die castings — fast, repeatable and tailored to your needs
High‑pressure die casting (HPDC) changed the rules for mass production. Using cold‑chamber die casting machines, molten aluminium is forced under high pressure into steel dies where it solidifies into a precisely engineered shape. The result? Outstanding dimensional accuracy and repeatability. In our aluminium die casting foundry we use production‑ready pressure dies designed for intricate details and excellent as‑cast surface finish. Modern HPDC reduces secondary machining, cuts unit cost and shortens time‑to‑market — benefits every OEM can appreciate, regardless of industry.
High quality, precision and production flexibility
- We manufacture aluminium die castings for both low‑volume runs and full series production.
- We use automated die casting lines and process control to guarantee repeatable parameters and consistent quality for every part.
- Our cold‑chamber machines offer a wide range of clamping forces and shot sizes — we match the cell to your project’s requirements.
- We provide die cooling, in‑house die refurbishment/maintenance and full die design & tooling capability.
Applications of aluminium die castings in your industry
e don’t limit ourselves to one sector — we cast wherever top‑tier quality and reliability matter most.
We engineer and build pressure die casting tools end‑to‑end — from technical concept to a production‑ready solution. Using advanced CAD/CAM and flow simulation (moldflow), we eliminate defects before they occur and maximise process efficiency. Our tooling department works hand‑in‑hand with CNC machining, so every die is manufactured with the precision required for the most demanding geometries.
Materials and solutions tailored to industrial needs
We tailor aluminium pressure dies to each project — using premium hot‑work tool steels and wear‑/heat‑resistant inserts. Where needed we integrate channel cooling and metal cores/inserts to extend die life and ensure repeatability across large series. High‑pressure die casting of light metals achieves an excellent as‑cast surface with minimal finishing — critical for automotive, white goods and precision electronics.

Automation and technology that power the die casting process
A modern HPDC line is your guarantee of repeatability and control over every detail
Today’s aluminium die casting is both engineering know‑how and advanced technology. Our die casting line is built for maximum efficiency and reliability. Automatic cycle control, precise alloy dosing and digital parameter monitoring maintain stable conditions even at high volumes. That’s how we deliver precision die castings with identical physical properties and dimensions — without rework or waste. High automation reduces manual variation, lowers cost and boosts reliability.
A key element is our die cooling system, which keeps tool temperature stable and extends tool life. Regular die refurbishment in‑house enables multiple production runs without loss of detail fidelity. Optimised shot‑to‑shot time shortens cycles and raises overall throughput. By combining automated casting with meticulous tooling care, we ensure supply continuity for our customers.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ
Most‑asked questions about high‑pressure die casting
What is high‑pressure die casting and how does it work?
High‑pressure die casting forces molten metal into a steel die (tool) under high pressure. This produces precision die castings with tight dimensional repeatability and excellent as‑cast surfaces. The technology enables parts that are ready for assembly or require only light finishing.
What are the biggest advantages of die casting?
The key benefits are speed, low scrap rate, high repeatability, ability to cast complex geometries and a shortened production cycle. HPDC is ideal for series production where consistent quality and on‑time delivery are critical.
Which materials can be die cast?
We primarily process aluminium alloys in cold‑chamber machines. Depending on project requirements, zinc and magnesium alloys are also feasible in die casting. The final selection depends on mechanical properties, weight targets and the part’s operating environment.
Which industries use aluminium die castings?
Aluminium die castings are widely used in automotive, electronics, home appliances, technical fittings, aerospace sub‑assemblies and many other sectors — wherever low weight, strength and precision are required.
Do you produce short runs or prototypes?
Yes. We support prototypes and short, specialised runs as well as full series. We adapt the HPDC process to your needs, including rapid tooling and pilot builds for validation.
How do you prepare a die for production?
We design pressure dies from your 2D/3D drawings and specifications, then manufacture them in‑house using CNC and CAD/CAM. Flow simulation helps us validate gating, runners and cooling for accuracy and long tool life.
How do you ensure quality of die castings?
We control every stage — from automated casting parameters to cooling and finishing. Parts undergo dimensional inspection and structural checks; additional NDT can be provided on request. Ongoing die maintenance safeguards consistency across long runs.
What tolerances are achievable with HPDC?
With high‑quality tooling and process control, very tight tolerances are possible — often around ±0.1 mm depending on part size and geometry. Precision machining is available where even tighter fits are required.
How much does a die casting cost?
Price depends on part size/complexity, alloy, required volume (number of cycles) and the cost of tooling. At higher volumes the unit cost drops significantly, which makes HPDC ideal for series production.
How can I place an order for die castings?
Contact us via the form, phone or e‑mail. After receiving your technical documentation (3D/2D, tolerances, volumes) we’ll prepare a tailored quote. Our specialists will also advise on the optimal die casting technology for your application.
