2016 Die Casting Design Competition
Innovative Die Castings Wanted – Submit Your Entry to the International Die Casting Design Competition
In a competitive global market, customers take notice of the best. North American Die Casters Association (NADCA) knows that competition improves the competitor. With its annual Die Casting Competition, it recognizes and rewards the outstanding casting designs of the year.
Entering and winning is one of the best ways to gain visibility with leading decision-makers. The competition is open to aluminum, magnesium, zinc die castings and other alloy families. Any number of castings may be entered. However, a separate entry form is required for each casting or assembly of castings. In addition, the metal surface cannot be improved or concealed by tumbling, shot blasting, coating or other surface treatments.
Judging is conducted by an independent panel of experts from the die casting industry, with no ties to eligible companies. The four equally weighed criteria are ingenuity of casting/product design; overall quality; cost savings; and market-expanding potential. Winning castings will be displayed during the 2016 Die Casting Congress & Tabletop in Columbus, OH and winners will be honored during the Die Casting Awards Luncheon. NADCA’s Die Casting Engineer Magazine, NADCA’s Website and the NADCA Design Website will also feature the winning castings.
This competition helps promote increased use of die castings by recognizing and publicizing outstanding designs. For more information on the 2016 International Die Casting Design Competition please visit, www.diecasting.org/castings/competition or contact Beau Glim at glim@diecasting.org. The deadline to submit your casting is July 1, 2016. Don’t hesitate (Article from NADCA, visit their website for more details)

Pressure Die Casting vs. Sand Casting
Pressure Die Casting vs. Sand Casting. At lower quantities sand casting is cheaper. Product quantities of over 1000 parts over a few years will cost less as a die casting. Aluminum sand cast tooling roughly costs from $500 – $7,500, depending on the size and complexity. Parts from sand casting cost $10 to $30 each. For 1000 parts the total cost is $37,500. 10,000 parts would cost over $300,000. Pressure die casting tooling on the other hand costs from $5,000 – $25,000, again depending on the size and complexity of the die cast parts. The cost for parts is between $2 to $5 each. 1000 parts would cost $30,000. A savings of $7,500. For 10,000 parts the cost would be $50,000, much less than $300,000 for sand casting parts. Die Casting Tooling can create from 100,000 parts to as much as 1,000,000 pressure die casting aluminum lighting parts.
