Calculating Die Casting Prices
Kinetic Die Casting Part Pricing – How Die Casting Part Prices are Established.
Kinetic Die Casting Company has a specific pricing model that is similar and also different from our competitors. Here are a few issues to think about when asking for a die casting part price.
- Die Casting Part Size
- Die Casting Part Weight
- Die Casting Material Type
- Inspection Requirements
- Die Casting Part Quantity
- Die Casting Part Tolerances
- Die Casting Part Specifications
- Die Casting Tooling Types
- Additional Labor Needs
- Die Casting Part Secondary Finishing
- Other Fees
The die casting part size and weight effect the part price in a few ways, cycle times or parts per hour, the machine tonnage size required to produce the parts and the part material cost, which also relates to the die casting material type.
The inspection requirements can vary depending on if a (1) visual inspection, or a (2) dimensional inspection or a (3) penetration inspection or an (4) X-Ray inspection or a (5) pressure test inspection are required.
The part quantity has an effect because it will determine if some of the many “one time” or “minimum charge” fees are covered in the production lot.
Die casting part specifications and tolerances add additional labor to a simple casting through inspection and documentation.
The die casting tool can effect the part price by how many cavities are in the tool, how many slides are in the tool, whether additional labor can be removed by the tool, and also if a trim die is available. The mold type also has an effect in the set up time for tooling.
Many times additional labor are needed to complete the die casting part, like threading holes, which also adds to the part cost. Can we use high speed production machining or do we need to use CNC machines.
If there is a polish, ball burnish, bead blast, paint or anodize requirement, that will add to the part cost.
Other fees, some die casting companies charge a “Set Up Fees” or an “Environmental Fees” or an “Energy Surcharge Fees” or a packaging or pallet fee, we do not have any of these hidden fees.
Obviously, this newsletter (already too long) cannot give enough details to satisfy everyone but call us at: 818-982-9200 and a die casting part price discussion can be scheduled.

Mothers Day 2017
In six days – Sunday, May 14th is Mothers Day 2017.
Happy Mothers Day
Why do we celebrate Mothers Day? For “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world” – Anna Jarvis. The US holiday of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at Saint Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. Saint Andrew’s Methodist Church has an International Mother’s Day Shrine now to remember. Her campaign to make “Mother’s Day” a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. The mother, Ann Jarvis, had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War. Ann created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor all mothers.
Traditional gifts to Mothers include: flowers, candy, a dinner at a nice restaurant or a spa treatment. Whatever you decide to do for your mother, remember to do something.

KDC Popular Roof Protection Concrete Tilemolds
The most popular roof protection is concrete roof tiles. Concrete Roof Tiles have become easier to get because of the technological advancements made by manufacturers that create concrete roof tiles for consumers. For over a hundred years, concrete roof tiles have been considered one of the best options. Today, concrete roof tiles are a smart alternative to clay roof tiles and asphalt roofing. In fact, there are multiple designs and colors that you can choose from. Therefore, because of technology concrete roof tiles have become more and more popular.
Concrete roof tiles are oftentimes more beautiful and cheaper than other roofing materials. Here are some of the concrete roofing tile benefits:
Long Lasting
Since your roof tiles have a concrete base, it is guaranteed to last for a lifetime. Historically, concrete tiles have lasted for over forty to fifty years.
Artistic:
As stated above, concrete roof tiles have different colors and designs to choose from. You can even copy the look of clay, slate and wood roofs using concrete roof tiles.
Low Maintenance:
Since you rarely need to replace concrete roofing tiles, the maintenance is very low. Generally you would only need to replace the affected tiles rather than the whole roof. This effectively cuts down the cost of upkeep to your roof.
Fire Resistant:
Did you know that concrete roofing tiles are fire resistant? They can withstand extreme heat and fire.

Sand Castings in 2017
What is Sand Casting? Sand casting is a metal part manufacturing process that uses sand as the form or mold that shapes the metal castings. In sand casting, the sand is moistened and the pattern is pressed into the sand. The preparation and bonding process of the sand is the most critical step in the process. This technique is usually used for low volume production.
The sand casting pattern is made of wood or metal, such as aluminum. The patterns are generally not destroyed but are made permanent to be reused up to a few thousand times. Sand casting is used when lower quantities are needed and lower quality is acceptable. Manufacturing companies use sand casting to make aluminum parts if the project only needs a few hundred parts.
