Who uses die casting? : The Humble Beginnings of Die Casting. People in the metal work industry are very familiar with the process of die casting. For those who just learned of the term, die casting is the process of molding metal to suit a mold cast under high pressure. It may be just a simple process of manipulating metal to suit certain shapes, but the applications of die casting to the metalworking industry are very varied that they find utility in almost all fields of goods production.

The first die casting equipment set was first invented in the year 1838. During this time, the die cast was intended to produce movable types for printing presses. Later on, in 1849, the first patent for a die cast equipment was filed for an undersized hand-operated device that serves the purpose of mechanizing the production of print types. The publishing industry then achieved a milestone in 1885 when Otto Mergenthaler successfully invented the linotype machine. This invention is an automated kind of casting mechanism that has become the conventional type of printing equipment up to this day. It wasn’t long when other applications of die casting were discovered paving way to the rapid growth and production of appliances and other goods, especially small intricate parts, in high volumes.
