Why Use Die Casting in 2023?
Sadly, die-casting is unknown to most of the people around the world. They are not even interested about how their lighting fixtures, appliances and car parts were created. But for the few of you who took their time to search for this page, kudos to you.
Experts in the industry know for a fact that die casting is a very neat and useful technology that is used on creating metal parts and products. Fundamentally, it is not only used in the metal production industry, it is the same technique used in creating plastic products and materials. The only differences are the materials used in the production, and the materials used in the mold.
To refresh your memory (and for those who do not know), here are the following advantages on using die-casting.
- Fast production rates of products.
- Large part quantities produced quickly.
- Fewer added machine operations (compared to other manufacturing methods).
- Lesser manual labor from any personnel involved.
- Inserts, such as high strength bearing surfaces, heating elements, and threaded inserts, can be cast-in.
If you compare it to sand casting and permanent molds, production with it is faster with lesser labor costs. Compared to permanent and sand mold castings, thinner walls can be produced by manufacturing with die casting. Completed products have very smooth cast surfaces. The products die casted have great dimensional accuracy and constancy. If you compare it with forging, it can produce products that are more complex. Alternatively, if you compare it to stamping, section thickness is not an issue with this casting method. If you compare this method and plastic casting, die casting can produce can create stronger high quality products.
As you can see, die casting is definitely a good choice if a person wants to use a metal part in his product. Die casting is the best choice for high quality manufactured metal products. Kinetic Die Casting Company is your best choice for purchasing your die casting products. Call us at 818-982-9200 or email at sales@kineticdc.com

Prototype Parts and Die Casting Parts in 2023
Prototype Parts and Die Casting Parts. We can help you develop your metal product with prototype parts. Kinetic Die Casting Company can make prototype metal parts for our customers, to use for evaluation, prior to making die casting tooling.
We have produced many types of “pre-production” or prototype parts for our customers. We have produced the following types of parts:
SLA
SLC
Sand Castings
Prototype machined parts
Custom Metal Parts …… READ MORE
We can take your 3D model and create a Stereo Lithography ( SLA ). SLA is a process that converts a three dimensional (3D) file into a plastic part in a matter of a few hours or days. Kinetic Die Casting has provided many SLA parts to prove a design for our customers.
With the SLA we can then make a SLC or Sand Casting. A SLC is when we coat the SLA with a material to create a “one up” tool …. Metal Prototype Parts
A sand casting will use the SLA to “make an impression in the sand” over an over to make a few parts.
In some cases, we can modify an existing die casting part to use as your prototype. In other cases, we can machine your parts from raw aluminum using a CNC machine.

Kinetic Die Casting April 2023
All of our customers are manufacturers. This year is challenging to many manufacturing companies. Both good and bad challenges. A few of our manufacturing company customers are struggling to stay in business. A few of our customers are faced with higher production and delivery demands than ever before. At Kineticdc, we are not different from other manufacturing companies. We are having negative challenges with unusually high natural gas costs, difficulty in finding and training qualified labor workers as well as experienced die casting managers. We are also struggling with our cash flow as a result of all the negative issues above. The good challenge is that we are headed in 2023 to the best manufacturing year ever by working extra hours and more production shifts for our customers’ increased demand.
Thank you for trusting us to make your production parts of aluminum and zinc die casting parts.

A Comparison: Die Cast Parts or Plastic Parts in 2023
A Comparison: Die Cast Parts or Plastic Parts. Within the past decade, plastic molded products have become plentiful in the market. More and more plastic products are being shaped as extra to metal products such as faucet, door knobs, and chair braces. Die casting manufacturing industry is facing an opposing that produces products that do not disintegrate or rust. However, the question is, which is actually better, Die Casting Parts or Plastic Parts?
Durability
Die cast parts are essentially stronger likened to their plastic counterparts. In cases that a material is desired to be built thin and yet tough, die cast parts are desirable. Also, die casting parts can endure a wider range of temperature than their plastic counterparts, permitting them to be more ideal in severe working environments with dangerous temperatures.
Furthermore, since, die casting manufacturers use non ferrous type of metals like aluminum, zinc and magnesium, the quarrel that die cast parts are most probable to corrode easily lacking out of the picture.
Environmental Issue
When it comes to issues with environment, plastic products do not promise very well. If you wonder how long plastic products biodegrade, then the answer is: it takes at least few hundred years. This suggests that old and non-practical plastic products are going to flood the landfills. Likening these plastic products to die cast parts, the latter is really made of recycled material. About ninety five percent of metal utilized in die cast parts production is recycled from recovered parts. With this, metal is established to be a more maintainable material that could be used not only once but countless times over.

Extruded Aluminum Heatsinks in 2023
Extruded aluminum heatsinks are made by heating aluminum to the point of a semi-solid state. Then this aluminum is pushed (extruded) through an extrusion die. These aluminum forms have the profile of the die it was pushed through, much like the play dough toy extruder. The simple shapes are stars or circles. These forms are cut to the length needed.
Aluminum Heatsinks that are extruded typically have a flat bottom and ribs on the top. They can be extruded in lengths of several feet an cut to shorter lengths. Because these extruded aluminum heatsinks were formed by pushing through a die, there is a limitation on details that can be formed on the top and bottom surfaces. If a depression is needed to mount components then it will need to be machined into the part as a pocket as an after operation, dramatically increasing the part cost. More typically, if holes are needed for mounting, they too will need to be machined into the parts as a secondary operation. Any other holes needed so wires or components can pass through have the same limitation.
The Aluminum Die Casting Process injects metal into a mold or die that forms the top, bottom and sides. Mounting holes, through holes and cavity indentations formed into the part are in the die halfs on the top and bottom. Aluminum Die Casting Heatsinks will have all the features necessary for installing the components and the holes for mounting during the original manufacturing operation. Die casting heatsinks will not require secondary operations for holes and features.
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures aluminum and zinc die casting parts. Samples of KDC’s work include die cast speaker parts, aluminum tile plates, and other die cast metal parts. If you would like to have a quote please visit our website: Kinetic Die Casting Company
