Die Casting

Die casting is a metal casting process that forces molten metal under high pressure into a reusable steel mold (die). It produces parts with excellent dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finish, and thin walls — making it ideal for high-volume production of metal components. The two main methods are hot chamber die casting (for zinc, magnesium, and low-melting-point alloys) and cold chamber die casting (for aluminum, brass, and higher-melting-point alloys). Key design considerations include wall thickness uniformity, draft angles, parting line placement, and gating design. OrderCAD specializes in aluminum (A380, A383, ADC12) and zinc (Zamak 3, Zamak 5) die casting. We offer complete services from mold design and simulation to production, machining, and surface finishing — delivering production-ready parts with volumes from 1,000 to 1,000,000+ pieces.
