Aluminum Sand Cast Parts are sometimes a better choice than Aluminum Die Casting Parts

If you want less than 2,000 aluminum parts in your product life cycle, sometimes a part produced by the aluminum sand casting is a better choice for you.

Here are my calculations:

Aluminum Sand Casting Parts
Typical Tooling Cost: $500 – $1500
Typical Part Cost: $12 – $15 each
Cost for 1000 parts: $13,500
Cost for 2000 parts: $25,500

Aluminum Die Casting Parts
Typical Tooling Cost: $10,000 – $12,000
Typical Part Cost: $2.50 – $3.50 each
Cost for 1000 parts: $14,500
Cost for 2000 parts: $17,000

As you can see, the cost is less for an aluminum sand cast part, if you will buy less than 2000 parts. If you feel your product life is more than 2000 parts, you should consider buying aluminum die casting parts.
