Prototype Parts and Die Casting Parts

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.

Why Use Consumer Parts Die Castings?

Why Use Consumer Parts Die Castings? Die casting is a process that involves three steps to accomplish. The first step is to melt raw material, in this case metal alloy, by subjecting it in intense heat. Once the metal alloy has melted into liquid, it will then be injected in large casings made of steel commonly referred to as molds or castings. These casings would give the liquefied metal its new shape. The mold will then be cooled down so that it will harden once again and there you have it. A common metal used in this process is aluminum, but other metals such as zinc can also be used. Consumer Parts Die Castings is an industry in itself which caters to many manufacturers around the world.

A lot of products such as electronics, automobiles and household appliances make use of aluminum parts. Aluminum is a favored metal alloy for many manufacturers because of its characteristics. It is almost as strong as steal but it carries less weight compared to steel and most other metals for that matter. At the same time, aluminum is cheap and easy to obtain. For the manufacturers that provide these products which use aluminum parts, they need different kinds of parts which can be provided by die casting. Consumer Parts Die Castings fast and is cheap, which is why it is a choice of many manufacturers around the globe.

Consumer Parts Die Castings can create bulk orders in little time. It is a valuable asset for any manufacturer to have someone provides them with die casted aluminum parts. It is even better if they have their own die casting machinery.

The alloys that will be used, the design, size and weight and the specifications usually come from the consumer or the customer. One of the many industries that ask for this kind of service is the Aviation Industry, and next to it is the Construction Industry. Consumer Parts Die Castings are typically Die Casted in aluminum, zinc, special marine alloys and aluminum.

There are also some Die Casting companies that use SLA or Stereo Lithography to give their consumers an idea of how the parts work, how they move and what are its functions. Any questions that come out from the consumers head will be answered with the use of the Stereo Lithography.

The most requested alloy used in Consumer Parts Die Castings is the aluminum because of its light characteristic and it is doesn’t get rusty unlike other alloys. Also, it is much simpler to die cast, and it has dimensional stability as well as having excellent mechanical qualities.

What are Metal Casting Parts

What are Metal Casting Parts? If you’re interested with the metalworking industry or are looking into the different kinds of metal materials used and products made in the several metal-related businesses that are around today, you’d surely encounter the term “aluminum die casting parts” most of the time during your search. Also referred to as aluminum die cast parts, such are the products that can be made using the aluminum die casting process, one of the most popular methods in casting these days.

But what is the aluminum die casting process to begin with? The aluminum die casting process is used for the production of custom metal parts. The process, which is considered versatile by many manufacturers, forces molten metal under high pressure into steel molds – which are called dies – that are reusable. These molds can be designed in a number of ways so that simple from complex shapes can be attained while observing a relatively high degree of accuracy, as well as repeatability for bulk orders of some costumers. Thus, aluminum die casting parts are born and sold into the growing market of the metalworking industry.

When it comes to metal casting, aluminum die casting metal parts are really a sight to behold. Both manufacturers and consumers never fail to be awed by the quality of metal parts that can be produced using the famous aluminum die casting process. These metal parts do not only boast of dimensional accuracy and measurement preciseness, they can also be sharply defined using a variety of options for texture. They can be made smooth, rough, or heavily detailed. Moreover, their finishing touches are more attractive and highly serviceable, as opposed to those used by other metal casting methods.

Aluminum Auto Parts

Because aluminum is lightweight and strong, aluminum die casting parts are used for automotive, car or automobile applications. Aluminum Auto Parts are necessary to reduce the weight of the automobile so cars can get better fuel economy. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) or Major auto manufactures love aluminum die casting for their auto parts because several thousand parts can be produced a year at a very low cost. Some OEM auto makers have their own die casting plants to produce their auto parts. Others contract with Jobshop die casters to produce their aluminum auto parts. Aftermarket auto parts manufacturing companies are companies that produce auto parts to be sold in stores. Aftermarket auto parts manufacturers use die cast aluminum auto parts because they are inexpensive to produce and are typically better quality than other aluminum part manufacturing processes. Prototype parts or Custom Parts or OEM parts and Aftermarket Auto parts come in various locations, such as:

Aluminum Die Casting Handles
Car door handles have been die cast as well as the aluminum handle hardware that opens the console and the trunk of the car.

Aluminum Valve Covers
Valve covers are very commonly die cast in aluminum because they hold a chrome look without using chrome plating. Valve covers need to diffuse heat and aluminum is a great conduit for thermal transfer.

Aluminum Wheels
Many wheels are thought to be made from magnesium but are in fact made from aluminum. Aluminum is very strong and can be polished to a high luster.

Aluminum Brackets
Many of the engine components are held into place using die cast aluminum brackets. The brackets hold the alternator and air conditioner into place.
